SL vs IRE Dream11 Match Preview

Sri Lanka bounced back strongly after losing their first game against Namibia. There is still room for improvement in the batting department and they’ll need to fix that quickly as the Super 12 round will be very difficult and it may prove to be very costly. Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva must perform for them to do well. 

The bowlers have been in top form. Dushmantha Chameera’s injury is a big blow to them but the pace unit still looks decent. Binura Fernando bowled well in his first game while they’ve Lahiru Kumara who bowls at a good pace. They have one of the best spin attacks in the tournament in Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana and they are in excellent form as well. 

Ireland played well in the first round and they knocked out the West Indies to qualify for the Super 12 Round. They will be high on confidence coming into this game and they need to continue playing as a side. Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie coming back to form solves many of their issues in the batting department. The likes of Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker need to be consistent in the middle order.

They have a great bowling unit with the likes of Mark Adair and Joshua Little in the pace department. Curtis Campher and Barry McCarthy are in decent form as well. Gareth Delaney and Simi Singh will be their spinners and they have done well up until now. They will look to start off with a win in the Super 12 round.
