T20 World Cup 2022 –Scotland vs Ireland MATCH PREVIEW

• Scotland play Ireland at Bellerive Oval on October 19.
• The Scots beat the West Indies by 42 runs in their first T20 World Cup match.
• Ireland lost to Zimbabwe in their last encounter, and face a must-win game to keep their ship afloat.

Scotland will feel optimistic of beating Ireland at Bellerive Oval on October 19 after a stunning victory over the West Indies in their first T20 World Cup match. Despite their loss to Zimbabwe in the last encounter, the Irish boys should not be underestimated, especially because they will be playing a must-win game to keep their ship afloat.

In the previous match, the Scots were outstanding in both bowling and batting against the two-time world champions. Scotland got off to a great start thanks to George Munsey, and the Richie Berrington-led team posted a respectable total of 160 runs after 20 overs.

When it came to the bowlers, they made no room for the Caribbeans to dominate, resulting in a crushing 42-run triumph. This victory over the West Indies will boost Scotland’s confidence as they look to qualify for the Super 12 for the second time in two years. To win against Ireland, the team must remain disciplined and play to their strengths.

Although there are obvious issues in the middle order, Scotland is unlikely to change their winning combination in the encounter. The team played some good cricket as a collective in the previous encounter, and captain Richie Berrington would like to back it up.
