SL vs IRE Match Prediction - Oct 13, 2022

Sri Lanka will carry on with its preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup, as it takes on Ireland in a warm-up match on Thursday.

The Sri Lankan team has been in good form during the build-up to this tournament (it won the Asia Cup just a few days back) and is likely to register an easy victory over its opponents.

SL vs IRE Team Previews

Sri Lanka

Captain Dasun Shanaka will be pretty happy with his team’s preparation ahead of the marquee tournament. His teams’ warm-up campaign was off to a victorious start when it took on Zimbabwe at the MCG. Opener Kusal Mendis scored an excellent half-century at the top of the order, and a cameo by Wanindu Hasaranga, who scored 37 off just 14 deliveries helped guide Sri Lanka to 188 from their quota of 20 overs.

Later, Maheesh Theekshana and Chamika Karunaratne picked up 2 wickets each to restrict Zimbabwe to 155, helping Sri Lanka score a 33-run victory. The team has a strong batting lineup and a bowling attack that has improved quite a lot.

After an exceptional performance at the Asia Cup, the Sri Lankan team will be fancy its chances against Ireland, a team that is among the weakest performers in the T20 format.

Ireland

Ireland will be pretty disappointed with the result of its first warm-up game. The bowling department, especially McCarthy and Campher put up a good show to restrict Namibia to 138. However, it was the batting that let them down. Despite Lorcan Tucker and Paul Stirling scoring 34 and 37 runs respectively, the other batsmen failed to hold the other end to give them company, and in the end, Ireland fell short by 11 runs.

The batting is very top heavy and there is too much dependence on the top-3. This could cost Ireland heavily. Its bowling is also just about average and could be put to the sword by the Sri Lanka batters.

While Ireland did win its latest T20 series against Afghanistan, they are simply no match against the might and form of the Sri Lankans.

SL vs IRE Toss Prediction

In the past, the matches at the Junction Oval in Melbourne have usually favored teams batting first. We are therefore likely to see the team winning the toss bat first.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather forecast says that we can expect overcast conditions on Thursday, with chances of rain. This might lead to a shortened game, and the use of DLS, which generally hands an advantage to the team chasing. So that is something that the punters should keep in mind while placing wagers. Given the swing and the bounce of the pitch, we think that the game will be a low-scoring one.

 

SL vs IRE Betting Tips

Seeing the way that the Ireland batsmen struggled in the last match, we think that Sri Lanka should have no problem winning this one. The islanders have the advantage when it comes to batting depth and power. Wanindu Hasaranga could also prove to be a real mystery for the Irish batsmen.

Bet on a Sri Lanka win.
