Venue | Bellerive Oval, Hobart |
West Indies will face Ireland in a virtual knockout in the T20 World Cup Qualifiers. West Indies suffered a shock loss to Scotland in the first match before they bounced back to beat Zimbabwe in the previous outing. They now need to beat Ireland to move into the next round.
Ireland, on the other hand, lost to Zimbabwe in the first match but defeated Scotland in the second game. This is a must-win game for them as well. Notably, all four teams in the group are tied at 2 points thus the loser of the remaining two games of the group will be knocked out of the tournament.
The surface will be a sporting wicket, with pace and bounce for the bowlers to work with. However, the ball will come on nicely onto the bat so if the bowler misses his line, the ball will fly off the bat.
There is a 20 per cent chance of rain on the match day. The temperature will hover around the 20-degree Celsius mark.

Paul Stirling will be key for Ireland. He is a player who has plenty of experience and T20 runs behind him. He has not been able to make a mark in the T20 World Cup so far but he can make up for that by delivering in this crunch game.
Kyle Mayers has not been in the best of form in T20 World Cup so far but he has been in decent form of late. He had a terrific season of the CPL so his confidence will be high. West Indies would want to see him get back to form in the coming game.
Ireland were down and out against Scotland but Curtis Campher played one of the best innings in the tournament so far and stroked 72 off 32 balls to take Ireland home in a chase of 177. Being an all-rounder, he is key with the ball as well and also picked up a couple of wickets in the last match.
Jason Holder is a match-winner for West Indies. He is arguably their best bowler. While he has been ordinary with the bat, he can tonk the ball big on his day.
Alzarri Joseph with his raw pace will trouble the Irish for sure. He was too hot to handle for the Zimbabwe batters and played a significant role in West Indies' win. He picked 4 wickets for 16 runs in the match.
