Ireland will take on Germany in the ninth match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier at the Al Amerat Cricket Stadium in Oman on Monday.
Ireland have had an underwhelming campaign so far. They’ve barely kept their chances of the reaching the next round alive with a 21-run win over Bahrain in their previous game.
They need a convincing margin to edge ahead of Bahrain. They are currently third in the group, and will look to better their net run rate. Germany, meanwhile, have almost been knocked out of the competition. They’ve lost consecutive games against Bahrain and UAE.

Pitch Report
Going by previous games, the track seems to be a batting paradise. High scores are pretty common on this ground, as the ball skids and comes on to the bat quite well. A total of 180 could prove to be a par score at this venue, and the team winning the toss should ideally opt to bat first.
