Ireland captain Laura Delany: "It looks like a nice wicket but we want to get out there as a fielding unit.
"I thought we started really well with the bat against England and had good intent but we struggled in the middle and that is an area we're going to focus on today.
"We will have to assess the wicket, it looks like there will be some turn on offer.
"It is always a tough game against Pakistan and if both sides play to their best it should be a great game."
