Pakistan Vs Ireland Highlights, ICC T20 World Cup Warm-Ups: Match Abandoned Due To Heavy Colombo Rain
PAK Vs IRE, ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Warm-Up Match Highlights: Both Pakistan and Ireland came on the back of T20I series sweeps, against Australia and United Arab Emirates respectively. Catch the key updates from the game
Updated on:
The ninth warm-up match of ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 between Pakistan and Ireland was washed out at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on Wednesday (February 4). Incessant rain meant that the game had to be abandoned without a toss. The match officials would not have wanted to risk any injuries to players, especially in a tune-up fixture, which is perhaps why the decision was taken promptly. The Men In Green, who were instructed days ago by their government to boycott the much-awaited match against India, were fresh off a 3-0 home T20I series sweep against Australia. Ireland, too, blanked the United Arab Emirates 2-0 prior to this game.
