Scotland are favorites to win
Match 5 of the 2022 T20 World Cup sees Scotland take on Ireland at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Wednesday afternoon. Scotland pulled off a huge surprise on Monday when they beat West Indies by 42 runs in their opening game. Ireland lost their first fixture to Zimbabwe by 31 runs. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 15:00 local time in Tasmania.
Scotland produced one of their most spectacular wins on Monday and will come into this clash full of confidence. They qualified for the Super 12 Stage last year and look set to do so again in 2022.
Ireland won only one game during the 2021 T20 World Cup and once again, after one game, they look unlikely to progress to the next stage. Although they have a strong record against Scotland, this match will be very tough.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
Three of the first four games in the tournament have seen the captain who wins the toss choose to field first. We predict that both skippers will decide to field first in this match.
Although it is a reliable batting wicket, there is also something in this pitch for the pace and spin bowlers. We expect a par score of no more than 165-170.
Sunny from start to finish in Hobart on Wednesday. The temperature will fall no lower than 17 degrees across this game.

It would be a huge surprise if Scotland made any changes to their line-up after their victory on Monday afternoon. There are no injuries or players unavailable which means that Brandon McMullen, Chris Sole, Hamza Tahir and Craig Wallace remain on the sidelines.
Scotland’s big win over West Indies on Monday ended a run of seven successive defeats in this format.

George Munsey, Michael Jones, Matthew Cross (wk), Richie Berrington (c), Calum MacLeod, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Josh Davey, Safyaan Sharif, Brad Wheal
Although there were two months since their last IT20 against Afghanistan in August, Ireland selected the same XI from that match for Monday’s fixture against Zimbabwe in T20 World Cup 2022. The Ireland management know exactly who their strongest team is and we expect the same line-up again in this clash.
Ireland have won only two of their last five IT20s with both wins coming at home against Afghanistan.
Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Simi Singh, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little
Scotland have beaten Ireland in this format only once since June 2015. The last meeting between the sides was a classic with Ireland winning by one run in Dublin in September 2019.

Although Ireland are favourites with the bookmakers, we are backing Scotland to follow up their impressive win over West Indies with another victory in this match.

Although there is no guarantee that Scotland will produce another strong batting and bowling performance in this match, they come into this clash with batters and bowlers in excellent form.
We are backing George Munsey, Michael Jones and Matthew Cross are our batting recommendations for Scotland. Jones put on 55 with Munsey for the first wicket in the win over West Indies.
Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker are our tips with the bat for Ireland. Stirling has hit 20 half-centuries and one century in IT20s.
Mark Watt, Brad Wheal and Josh Davey are our bowling picks for Scotland. Davey got the big wicket of West Indian opener Kyle Mayers on Monday.
We have selected Josh Little, Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy with the ball for Ireland. Adair took 2-39 and got the wickets of Sikandar Raza and Milton Shumba against Zimbabwe.
With the countries very close geographically, there will be an added bit of local derby tension in this game even though it is being played in Australia. Ireland will be disappointed to have lost to Zimbabwe whereas Scotland will still be delighted after their win over West Indies. We are backing Scotland to make it two wins from two games.
