BAN Vs IRE, ICC World T20 2016 - Betting Tips and Prediction

Before the start of the tournament, they were seen as the next best favorites after Bangladesh in their group to qualify for the main round. But their defeat to Oman has put their place in the Super 10 stage in doubt. Batting first, Ireland scampered to 154 due to decent contributions from the top three batsmen. Though none of the batsmen could score big, Gary Wilson's 38 was the highlight of their innings.

Their bowling was good but not good enough to stop the Oman batsmen from going past their total. Kevin O'Brien provided the two initial breakthroughs to bring Ireland back in the hunt. He is also an aggressive batsman who can do some serious damage if promoted up the order. The allrounder can definitely be considered for wagering money on. Andy McBrine with his offbreaks put the breaks on the scoring and picked up two scalps. Max Sorensen also took two wickets but leaked plenty of runs.

Final Prediction

A thriller on Friday is likely on the cards as two of the favorites from Group A are all set to face each other in a crucial contest. Bangladesh, who are undergoing a good run in the T20 format, will hold a psychological advantage over Ireland. They have beaten cricketing giants like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa in the past and have staged many upsets in the global tournaments. Being a full-member test-playing nation, they have played a lot of international cricket and have gained much more experience over the years. Though Ireland have talented young players in their squad, they would have to play really well to beat Bangladesh who are accustomed to playing in sub-continent conditions. Bangladesh, therefore, have a better chance of winning the match.
