We would have bowled first as well, looks like a pretty good surface. We need to make sure we do the basics right. We haven’t talked about the net run rate yet. Adam Zampa is back for Agar. We considered all factors, we are pretty confident with the side we got.

AUS vs IRE: Pitch and conditions

There’s a bit of a cloud cover, so there might be the off-shower. The leg-side boundary is shorter than the off-side when it comes to the ground dimensions. The pitch looks fantastic, but it’s a bit dry. The powerplay is going to be better for batting, it’ll be the best to bat against the new ball, reckons Michael Clarke.

AUS vs IRE: Focus on Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis became the star of the tournament when he thrashed Sri Lanka with a knock of 59 runs off 18 balls. His knock helped Australia to get a seven-wicket win in the chase of 158. Stoinis also became the fastest Australian (17 balls) to score a half-century in the history of the tournament. 

AUS vs IRE: Ireland defeated England

Ireland came as a sudden surprise when they defeated England in their Super 12 clash of the ongoing T20 World Cup by 5 runs (DRS Method). It will be interesting to see whether they will be able to get a similar result against Australia.

AUS vs IRE: Australia aiming for redemption

After having average outing in the T20 World Cup 2022 so far, Australia will look to redeem themselves in the clash against Ireland. Both the teams have played three games in the tournament. Out of which, one was abandoned without the toss due to rain.
