Scotland vs Ireland 7th T20 Today Match Prediction
After defeating West Indies in the 3rd match by 42 runs Scotland is ready again to take on Ireland in the 7th T20 match. As of now, Scotland stands at the top of the points table with 2 points to its name. On the other side, Ireland lost the 4th T20 match against Zimbabwe by 31 runs prior to this game. At this point, Ireland occupies the 3rd spot on the points table. Now Scotland vs Ireland 7th T20 will be hosted at Bellerive Oval, Hobart on 19th October 2022.
Who could have thought Scotland will begin their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign by upsetting two-time T20 champions West Indies? But Scotland was phenomenal in their victory against West Indies that took them to the top of the points table. An unbeaten inning from Munsey of 66 runs laid the foundation for 160-5 total by Scotland. West Indies lost their way in the chase and ended up scoring 118 runs with only four of their batters entering double figures. As a result, a 55 runs victory hugged Scotland in Group B.
On the other side, Ireland opted to ball first against Zimbabwe in the 4th T20 match. Zimbabwe set a mighty total of 174 for 7 in 20 overs with a blistering inning of 82 by Raza. In return, Ireland had a troubling start, and their batting line collapsed during the chase. At the end of the innings, Ireland was 31 runs short in the chase.
Scotland has a very poor history against Ireland in the T20 format. The Scottish Styres has won only 3 matches out of 13 games with Ireland winning 7. So you can say that Ireland is a dominating team between the two.
Prediction
Scotland will win this match. They won their previous game in style and now they must keep looking forward to more victories. This victory will get them to the top spot and may confirm their birth in the Super 12 stage.
On the other side, Ireland will also be eyeing victory in this match. They were defeated in the last game and now they must fight back with a victory. All in all, this is going to be a spectacular match for cricket fans around the globe.
