Pitch Report

A good batting track is expected at the venue with some help on offer for the bowlers as well. The pacers should get some swing early on, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the spinners will also come into play with the pitch likely to slow down a touch. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 150 being a good total at the venue.

Wicketkeeper

Matt Cross: Matt Cross is one of Scotland's most exciting batters given his ability to score quick runs regardless of his batting position. Cross is also handy with the gloves behind the stumps, making him a good option for your SCO vs IRE Dream11 fantasy teams.

Batter

Paul Stirling: Paul Stirling is Ireland's best batter in the T20 format with his numbers speaking for themselves. Stirling's explosive batting ability and experience of playing in the subcontinent should hold him in good stead ahead of the game.

All-rounder

Simi Singh: Ireland's lead spinner Simi Singh comes into the game on the back of a decent run of form in this format. Apart from his accurate spin, Simi is a handy batter down the order, making him one to watch out for in today's game.

Mark Watt: Like Simi Singh, Mark Watt also comes into the game on the back of good performances. He is one of Scotland's more economical bowlers and should ideally pick up a wicket or two on a track that should help the spinners.
