The fifteenth game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will see Sri Lanka taking on Ireland on Sunday. This will be the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader. Both teams are a part of Group 1 of the Super 12 stage.
Both of these sides made their way to the Super 12 stage by winning two of their three games in the Qualifier round. Dasun Shanaka will lead the Sri Lankan side while Andrew Balbirnie will lead the Ireland side here. Sri Lanka is currently placed at the eighth position on the ICC Men’s T20I rankings while Ireland is positioned twelfth on the rankings.
In the last two head-to-head games, Sri Lanka managed to win both of those. Both teams have added quality players to their ranks for this tournament and another great cricketing contest is anticipated here on Sunday.
The temperature is expected to hover around 11°C on the matchday with 77% humidity and 19 km/hr wind speed. There is 60% chance of precipitation during the game.
The surface at Hobart Stadium is quite creamy to bat on, and high-scoring matches have frequently occurred here. Teams like to chase here because the pitch often improves and settles as the game progresses. On this track, spinners are slightly less effective than pacers.
The average first-innings score on this wicket is 160 runs.
The team batting second has great records here. They have maintained a winning percentage of 60 on this ground.
