In the last T20I at this venue, Sri Lanka defeated Ireland by nine wickets. The Irish team elected to bat first after winning the toss. However, they could only score 128 runs in their 20 overs. In reply, Sri Lanka raced to 133/1 in 15 overs and won the game quite comfortably.
Six sixes were hit in the match between Sri Lanka and Ireland. A total of nine wickets fell in 35 overs, with fast bowlers picking up three of them. It should not be a surprise if the captain winning the toss opts to bowl first tomorrow.
