SL VS IRE
In a warm-up match on Thursday against Ireland, Sri Lanka will continue to get ready for the forthcoming T20 World Cup.
The Sri Lankan squad has been playing well leading up to this competition—it just won the Asia Cup—and is expected to cruise to victory over its opponents.
SL VS IRE TEAM PREVIEWS
SRI LANKA
Dasun Shanaka, the team’s captain, will likely be pleased with how well-prepared his squad is for the major competition. When his teams faced Zimbabwe at the MCG, their warm-up campaign got off to a winning start. Kusal Mendis, the opener, struck a superb half-century at the top of the order, while Wanindu Hasaranga’s cameo of 37 runs off only 14 deliveries enabled Sri Lanka reach 188 from their allotted 20 overs.
Later, Maheesh Theekshana and Chamika Karunaratne each took two wickets to assist Sri Lanka defeat Zimbabwe by 33 runs by limiting them to 155. The team’s bowling assault has significantly improved, and its batting lineup is powerful.
The Sri Lankan squad will be optimistic about its prospects against Ireland, one of the T20 format’s weaker teams, after an outstanding showing at the Asia Cup.
IRELAND
The outcome of Ireland’s first exhibition game will leave it feeling rather let down. McCarthy and Campher in particular put up a strong performance in the bowling department to hold Namibia to 138. However, their batting was what failed them. Ireland lost by 11 runs even though Lorcan Tucker and Paul Stirling each scored 34 and 37 runs, respectively, since the other batsmen were unable to hold down the other end to support them.
The top three are very dependent upon, and the batting is highly top heavy. Ireland might pay dearly for this. Additionally, it has approximately average bowling, which the Sri Lankan hitters might exploit.
While Ireland did triumph in its most recent T20 series against Afghanistan, they are simply no match for Sri Lanka’s strength and form.
SL VS IRE TOSS PREDICTION
In the past, teams batting first have often been favored in games at Melbourne’s Junction Oval. Therefore, it is probable that the side that wins the toss will choose to bat first.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
According to the weather prediction, Thursday will be cloudy with a risk of rain. This might result in a shorter game and the usage of DLS, which usually gives the side pursuing an edge. Therefore, while making bets, gamblers should bear it in mind. We predict that the game will feature few goals due to the pitch’s swing and bounce.
SL VS IRE BETTING TIPS
Given how poorly Ireland’s batters performed in the last game, we believe Sri Lanka will easily prevail in this one. When it comes to batting depth and power, the islanders are in a better position. The Irish batters may find Wanindu Hasaranga to be a great puzzle.
Bet for Sri Lanka to triumph.
