Shaheen Afridi to Balbirnie, no run
Balbirnie and Ross Adair are at the crease. Balbirnie is on strike. Shaheen Afridi will open the attack
The players are out in the middle and we're ready to go. Shaheen with the new ball, a slip in place..
Lorcan Tucker - Paul isn't playing today. It has been a brilliant series so far, we batted very well, but they were better than us, we need to play well today. We'll bat well in the first powerplay and then take it further.
Babar Azam - We wil bowl first. The wicket was under covers, there could be a bit of moisture underneath. We put in a strong performance in the second match, we had a plan and we executed it. One change for us with Hasan Ali coming in.
We've made no changes to our pre-toss expert XI. Have a look before finalizing your fantasy plans

14:10 Local Time, 13:10 GMT, 18:40 IST: Ireland failed to defend 193 in the second game and that has set-up an enthralling finale in the final T20I today. The visitors overcame a shaky start to cruise home with 19 balls to spare. The win has relieved some pressure off Babar Azam whose start to this round of captaincy has been anything but smooth. For Ireland, any win in this series was always considered as a bonus, but they would be disappointed at their fielding in the 2nd game - two chances slipped by Graham Hume and the hosts were made to pay the ultimate penalty. Can they conjure up a perfect game today? Toss and team news coming up shortly..
