First bilateral series between the two countries
For the first time, the two nations will pit against each other in a bilateral T20I series. They last clashed in the format way back in 2009, at the T20 World Cup, when Pakistan beat Ireland by 39 runs in a group-stage match before eventually becoming champions. Pakistan visited Ireland in May 2018 to play a one-off Test, the first ever for Ireland.
A two-match T20I series was proposed for July 2020, but the tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
