CAN vs IRE Team Previews
Canada
Canada will go into this match after losing to the United States of America. The Canadians impressed with the bat in that match, but didn't quite have enough in the tank to truly challenge with the ball. This time, they will need to get the balance right against a motivated Ireland team.
Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicholas Kirton should be among Canada's key batters again. They each struck a half-century against the USA. Dhaliwal was aggressive during the powerplay, while Kirton's role in the middle order impressed. Aaron Johnson put in a promising knock, too, but failed to convert.
Bowling-wise, Canada will require a strong collective performance. Kaleem Sana, Dilon Heyliger and Nikhil Dutta took a wicket each against the USA, but will demand of themselves and each other against Ireland. Heyliger was probably the best of the lot on the day and can build on that spell.
Canada Playing 11
Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva, Dilpreet Bajwa, Saad Bin Zafar, Dillon Heyliger, Kaleem Sana, Junaid Siddiqui, Jeremy Gordon.
Ireland
Ireland lost to India recently and have a relatively quick turnaround time between that match and this one. Canada shouldn't pose as much of a threat as India did, but the Irish cannot afford to underestimate this opposition. They can take lessons learnt against India into this match.
Ireland were bowled out for just 96 by India. Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling struggled against seam at the top of the order, while the middle order didn't do any better against the same. Canada could take example from India here - and play more seam than spin against the Irish.
Besides Balbirnie and Stirling, Lorcan Tucker, Curtis Campher and Gareth Delany will be among the Irish batters to watch. They are good talents, who all reached double figures against India but also failed to convert. Mark Adair, for all his experience, and Josh Little, for his recent exposure in the Indian Premier League, are important seamers for Ireland.
Ireland Playing 11
Andrew Balbirnie, Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little, Craig Young.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Bet on Ireland to win the toss. There is a 50 percent chance of this happening. If the Irish win the toss, they will likely choose to field first.
Stirling failed against India at this ground recently. But he will understand conditions better this time. Stirling has a lot of experience in T20I cricket - and has hit a century in this format.
Adair also has a lot of experience in T20I cricket. He has taken 120 wickets in this format. The pitch conditions in New York could really suit his role with the new ball.
Dhaliwal will be full of confidence on the back of his half-ton against the USA. Anticipate another big performance from the Canadian opener, who can score quickly and freely at the top of the order.
Heyliger was among Canada's better bowlers against USA. Back him to be their best this time, especially if he is afforded a full four-over allotment. He only bowled three overs in the previous fixture.
