Who will win Ireland vs Canada, T20 WCQ 2019?
In a potentially key battle at the top of Group B of the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier, Canada and Ireland meet in Abu Dhabi, at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, for their latest fixture on October 23. The live action is set to get underway at 14:10 local time.
Canada sat top of the group after two wins from two matches, having comfortably beaten Jersey and Nigeria – as expected – so far. Nitish Kumar has hit 140 runs across the two games, while Dillon Heyliger has contributed six wickets.
This will be their first big test, however, against an Ireland team who have also won twice so far. They have played an extra game, and suffered a surprise defeat to the UAE, but they bounced back by beating in-form Oman last time out – Gareth Delany playing a key role in their win. The Irish start as favourites as a result, knowing a win will put them in a good position in this group.

IRE vs CAN Toss Prediction
Canada won the toss and successfully elected to bat first last time out, and batting first is likely to be the order of the day again.

Some early-morning fog will have long cleared by the time this gets underway in what should be hot, sunny, dry and clear conditions in the afternoon in Abu Dhabi.
IRE vs CAN Pitch Condition
The Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium has produced some good even battles between bat and ball so far, and it is difficult to say either batsmen or bowlers have come out clearly on top. The run rates remain high, but wickets have fallen regularly too.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Lorcan Tucker and Stuart Thompson came into the team last time out, as Ireland bounced back from their defeat to the UAE – Shane Getkate and Andy Balbirnie the men to make way. Gareth Delany was pushed up the batting order to cover Balbirnie’s absence and promptly smashed a match-winning 89* from 49 balls, so Ireland could stick with the same line-up and batting order.
IRE Key Players
Kevin O’Brien: Broke the record for most T20i sixes in a calendar year with his maximum against Oman on his way to 41 from 28 balls. It was the big-hitting opener’s first notable score since his 124 against Hong Kong in Muscat.
Gareth Delany: Hard to ignore after he responded to being pushed up the order with 89* from 49 balls, including nine fours and three sixes. With ball in hand, he then took 2-29 from his four overs to cap a fine day.
Boyd Rankin: The big paceman claimed 1-20 last time out, having started with figures of 0-18 and 1-26 in the opening two games. He needs three more wickets for 50 in T20 internationals, while his economy rate in the format is a very respectable 6.83 runs per over.
IRE Team Form
Ireland started with a comfortable win against Hong Kong, with Andy Balbirnie (70*) and Paul Stirling (62) making light work of a chase of 154 to win – the Irish claiming an eight-wicket win in just 17.2 overs.
Next up, however, 72 from Stirling could not prevent Ireland from folding for just 125 against the UAE. The hosts needed just 17 overs to seal a five-wicket win. That left Ireland needing to bounce back against Oman, but Gareth Delany’s 89* and two wickets ensured they did just that – Oman posting 148/9 in reply to Ireland’s 183/3.

Canada Team News & Playing 11
CAN Team News
Canada have stuck with the same XI for both matches so far and they could well stick with the same team again after two comfortable victories in their opening two games.
CAN Key Players
Nitish Kumar: Continued his superb form with 57* from 36 balls last time out, to follow up his 83 from 36 balls in the opening game. He can turn his arm too, picking up some handy wickets at times with his off-break bowling.
Dillon Heyliger: Six wickets in two games so far, including his excellent 3-16 last time out, means he now has 17 T20i wickets from just seven matches. Two wickets in his first three balls set Canada on their way to victory last time out.
Jeremy Gordon: After taking 3-14 in the opening game, the opener was economical last time out – he went wicketless, but figures of 0-12 ensured Nigeria were never up with the required run rate.
CAN Team Form
Canada have won both matches so far, with Nitish Kumar and Dillon Heyliger starring in both victories. Against Jersey, Kumar smashed 83 from 36 balls as Canada posted 176/5, and Heyliger and Jeremy Gordon took three wickets apiece to bowl Jersey out for 123.
In their second game, Kumar’s 57* from 36 balls helped them to 159/7, and Heyliger took another three wickets as Nigeria posted just 109/8 in reply.
Canada Predicted Playing 11
Rodrigo Thomas, Navneet Dhaliwal (c), Nitish Kumar, Nicholas Kirton, Ravinderpal Singh, Hamza Tariq (wk), Dillon Heyliger, Abraash Khan, Saad bin Zafar, Nikhil Dutta, Jeremy Gordon
