The 15th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will see Sri Lanka square off against Ireland on Sunday. The Bellerive Oval in Hobart will host this Group 1 fixture in the Super 12 stage of the tournament.
Sri Lanka competed in the group stages to qualify for the Super 12s. They lost to Namibia in their first fixture but bounced back to win their next two games to seal a berth in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2022. They will be brimming with confidence after that and will look to keep performing in a similar fashion at this stage of the competition.
Dasun Shanaka is leading the Lankan side brilliantly. The likes of Wanindu Hasaranga, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis have been performing consistently for their side in recent times and will be crucial for them in the T20 World Cup 2022.
Ireland, meanwhile, qualified for the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2022 after beating West Indies in their last group fixture. They lost their first match against Zimbabwe but managed to qualify for the next stage by winning their next two fixtures.
Experienced players Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie stepped up against the Caribbean side in their last match. Curtis Campher and George Dockrell have been in rich form with the bat and will look to carry forward their form in the Super 12 stage of the World Cup. The Irish side will have to be at its absolute best while facing Sri Lanka on Sunday.
