Sri Lanka and Ireland make it through the first round, after a thrilling set of game. Ireland, in there last game was as clinical as ever as they eliminated two time champions West Indies. They are showing that they want to be taken seriously and are likely to come with a lot of positive intent against Sri Lanka, in a bid to create some upsets in the upcoming games.
Played- 2 | Sri Lanka – 2 | Ireland – 0 | No Result- 0 | Tie- 0
Date: 23rd October 2022
Time: 9:30 AM IST
Venue: Hobart Cricket Ground
The forecast at Hobart looks good and a full game is likely.
The Hobart track is a little slower and with a slow outfield runs are tougher to come by. Batting second is still a better option.
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Dhanushka Gunathilaka, Dhananjay De Silva, Bhanuka Rajapaksha, Dasun Shanaka, Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Lahiru Kumara, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana
Andrew Balbernie (c), Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Curtis Campher, Mark Adair, Simi Singh, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little
Wanindu Hasaranga is the superstar of the Sri Lankan Cricket team right now. For them to make any sort of impact in the World Cup, his leg-spin will have to produce a huge contribution. He is already a contender for most wickets in the tournament, but it will be interesting to see how he reacts to Australian pitches, and if he can live up to the expectations.
Over the last year, Josh Little has impressed a lot. He has pace, he is young and he is already proving that he can lead an attack. A good spell from him up front will be key for Ireland as they will rely on him for consistent breakthroughs throughout the innings.
