Scotland will be locking horns with Ireland in the seventh match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Wednesday, October 19. Both teams would be heading into this contest on the back of contrasting fortunes.

Scotland stunned the two-time winners West Indies by a comprehensive 42-run margin in their tournament opener and would now be looking to strengthen their Super 12 spot. The Scottish team that had succeeded in making it to the main draw of the T20 World Cup last year would be determined to get the job done this time as well and they have some incredibly talented players in their side to make it happen.

Ireland, on the other hand, have got a lot of work to do after a bitter 31-run defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe. Their bowlers could not make much of an impact despite getting some early breakthroughs while the batters disappointed. This is a must-win game for the Irish side and they need to come out all guns blazing.

SCO vs IRE Pitch Report
The wicket at Hobart is a reliable one for batting and the batters can make the most of their chances once they are well set in the middle. At the same time, the pitch is also expected to provide assistance for both pacers and spinners. Anything in excess of 160 can be a tough total for the chasing team. Therefore, the captain winning the toss will be batting first.
