Scotland will lock horns with Ireland in the seventh match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Wednesday, October 19. A nail-biting encounter is on the cards with both teams aiming for the two points up for grabs.
Scotland stunned the former champions West Indies in their T20 World Cup opener. George Munsey played a match-defining knock to help his side post a challenging total on the board. The bowlers backed up the batters to win the game for his side. They will be high on confidence and will look to keep the winning momentum going.
Ireland, on the other hand, will rely heavily on veteran batter Paul Stirling to do the job for his side. The onus will be on Joshua Little and Simi Singh to lead the side with the ball. They suffered a shocking defeat against Zimbabwe and will hope to turns things around.
