Pitch Report
The pitch is a decent one to bat on with little help on offer for the bowlers. The batters should enjoy the ball skidding onto the bat under lights despite there being some swing available with the new ball. The spinners will need to be clever with their lines and lengths given the lack of turn on offer. Wickets in hand will be key for both teams, with 170 being par at the venue.
Today’s USA vs IRE Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Monank Patel: Monank Patel is all set to lead the USA in perhaps their most important game in history. Patel didn't score many runs in the previous game but given his prowess in the powerplay, he is a good addition to your USA vs IRE Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Paul Stirling: Paul Stirling is one of the feared batters on the Irish circuit and has a heap of franchise league experience under his belt. He showed glimpses of his batting ability in the previous game, scoring a quick-fire 31. But he will be keen to get a big one this time around against the USA.
All-rounder
Marty Kain: Marty Kain was the star of the show for USA as he came up trumps with both the bat and ball. His late surge with the bat was the difference between the two sides in the previous game. Given his recent form, he should find a place in most USA vs IRE Dream11 fantasy teams.
Bowler
Mark Adair: Mark Adair had an off-day in the previous game as he went wicketless and was also a touch expensive with the ball. However, he has a terrific track record in this format and will be one to watch out for, given his undeniable wicket-taking ability.
