The second day of the T20 Super 12 will begin with Asia Cup winners Sri Lanka vs Ireland. Both Sri Lanka and Ireland have earned a place in Group 1 of the tournament via the qualifying round.
Sri Lanka topped Group A by defeating Netherlands and UAE to book a place in Group 1, while Ireland finished second in Group B after registering victories against West Indies and Scotland to advance to Super 12.
Sri Lanka has already won a men’s continental championship this year which will act as a booster in the camp. Ireland is also backed by a T20I series win against Afghanistan in August backing them and after beating the two-time T20I World Cup winners West Indies in round 1 of the ongoing T20I World Cup, Irishmen will be confident to take on any side.
Some top names of the T20 world like Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dushmantha Chameera, Paul Stirling, and Harry Tector will be in action during this match.
Fans will witness a T20I match between Sri Lanka and Ireland for the first time since the T20 World Cup 2021.
Sri Lanka leads 2-0 in their head-to-head record against Ireland. Sri Lanka defeated the Irishmen in their T20 World Cup encounters in 2009 and 2021.
