SL vs IRE Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Oct 23, 2022
Alright then! Finally after an exciting group round, we have the top twelve sides in the competition. The T20 World Cup bandwagon is just about firing up and we are in for some nail-biting contests up next. After having a terrific game against West Indies, Ireland are now set to take on Sri Lanka and will be looking to get another big result. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will want to get things back on track as quickly as possible.
SL vs IRE Team Previews
Sri Lanka
The Asia Cup winners would have wanted their group campaign to go a lot better but now that they are here, they would be brimming with confidence. However, they might be coming into this match with a squad marred with injuries. Not only would it be interesting to see who they play on the match day, they would also not want to lose out on experience. That said, Sri Lanka still have experience available right through and if they are able to play to their potential, getting past them could prove to be a difficult task.
Sri Lanka Playing 11
Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Ashen Bandara, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka, Wanidu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Binura Fernando, Lahiru Kumara.
Ireland
Ireland have been around for a long time now and while they have created moments of glory, they haven't really been able to be a force to reckon with. They would feel it to be different this time given the kind of results they posted in the group stage and the matches prior to that. They appear to be in surprisingly good form and will be brimming with confidence. If they can play to their potential here, getting past them could prove to be a very challenging ask.
Ireland Playing 11
PR Stirling, Andy Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Simi Singh, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little.
SL vs IRE Betting Tips
Sri Lanka and Ireland have had strikingly similar contests up until now - they both lost their first respective matches but then bounced back brilliantly to secure a place in the super twelve. While Ireland seem to be peaking just at the right time, Sri Lanka have the on-paper strength. Given the stakes involved, the pressure will be high and adrenaline will be rushing through. For that and the other reasons stated above, we would be putting our money on a Ireland win and so should you.
