Pakistan bounced back from Friday’s shock defeat by Ireland by easing to a seven-wicket win in the second T20 at Clontarf on Sunday.

Lorcan Tucker (51) and Harry Tector (32) put on 62 for the third wicket to help Ireland to 193-7 from their 20 overs.

Pakistan were struggling at 13-2 before a partnership of 140 between Fakhar Zaman (78) and Muhammad Rizwan (75 not out) guided the tourists to a comfortable victory.

Fakhar was in top form, hitting six sixes with his 78 coming off just 40 balls.

Ireland secured just a second win over Pakistan with their five-wicket success in the opener.

They batted solidly to set a competitive target with Gareth Delany left unbeaten on 28 from 14 balls.

Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the Pakistan attack as he finished with 3-49.

The early wickets of Saim Ayub and captain Babar Azam gave Ireland hope of upsetting the odds again but Fakhar and Rizwan ensured the series would be decided in Tuesday’s final game.

Rizwan was still at the crease as Pakistan secured victory with 19 balls to spare.

Tabilo is the first Chilean to beat a world number one since Fernando Gonzalez beat Roger Federer at the ATP Finals in 2007.

He will play Karen Khachanov in the next round after the Russian 16th seed beat Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo 6-2 6-4

It means six-time champion Djokovic will fail to reach at least the quarter-finals in Rome for the first time since 2006.

The 36-year-old, who is yet to reach a final in 2024, has played just six matches on clay this year as he prepares for the defence of his French Open title.

The tournament at Roland Garros begins on 26 May.

Elsewhere, Aryna Sabalenka eased through to the last 16 in Rome with a comfortable straight-set win over Dayana Yastremska.

The Belarusian Australian Open champion did not drop a single service game as she beat Ukrainian Yastremska 6-4 6-2 in one hour 28 minutes.

She will play Ukraine’s two-time winner Elina Svitolina or Russia’s Anna Kalinskaya in the next round.

It is unknown whether or not Roberts will continue as manager next season.

When he was appointed in December he was also given the position of Como’s head of development, with the intention that he would focus exclusively on that role from the start of the 2024-25 season.

“So the job is done in terms of what I was asked to do for the first few months,” he explained.

“It’s been all hands on deck in terms of this challenge we’ve had over the last few months.

“Now we’ll have time to talk about how we structure in terms of moving forward. The main thing is that the club is in Serie A.

“The city, the community, the fans, as well as the football club are in a good place, and I’m very fortunate and very proud to be in the middle of that.”

Roberts has been assisted by former Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who like Henry, is a shareholder at the club.

And even though Fabregas had a brief stint as interim boss last year, the Spaniard had not obtained the necessary Uefa coaching licence at the time.

“I’ve really enjoyed working with Cesc. He’s an intelligent young man who was a top player. But more importantly he’s made a seamless transition into becoming a coach,” said Roberts.

“His ideas have been very good and I’m sure he’s going to be a very successful coach.

“A great personality, and I know there’s more to come from him in the future.”
