IRE vs SCO Match Prediction, 3rd T20I: Who will win today’s match? – CricTracker

Preview:

Ireland (IRE) are set to collide with Scotland (SCO) in match No. 3 of the tri-series at Sportpark Westvliet, The Hague, in the Netherlands on Monday, May 20. Scotland began their campaign with a comprehensive defeat to the Netherlands in the first game of the tri-series and will want to bounce back on Monday. Meanwhile, Ireland are going to play their first match of the series against the host nation on Sunday.

Ireland will be upbeat about their chances of winning this assignment after giving Pakistan a good run for their money in a recently concluded T20I series at home. The Irish side eventually lost the three-match series 1-2 but gave a good account of their potential. Meanwhile, Scotland will want to forget their 41-run loss to the Netherlands in the first game and get their first points on the board.

Sportpark Westvliet, The Hague Pitch Report

The pitch for the first game was quite balanced as there was something in it for both the batters and the bowlers. The new ball could move around for the first few overs and the batters will have to weather the storm. A lot of runs are there for the taking if the batters get themselves set at the crease.

IRE vs SCO Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter:

Lorcan Tucker: The wicketkeeper-batter scored two fifties in the three-match T20I series against Pakistan earlier this month. He has the experience of playing 68 T20Is and scored 1,196 runs, scoring eight half-centuries. Tucker will play a key role at No. 3 for Ireland.

Probable Best Bowler:

Mark Adair: Right-arm pacer Vivian Kingma caused all sorts of problems for the Scottish batters in the first game. Adair has more pace up his sleeve and could be a handful for the Scotland batting line-up. He has played 80 T20Is so far and bagged 112 wickets at 19.75. Adair also picked up a three-for against Pakistan in the last T20I of the three-match series.
