Match 20 of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023 will be played between Ireland and UAE at the Bulawayo Athletic Club in Bulawayo.
Unfortunately, Ireland’s disappointing performances in the tournament have resulted in their failure to secure a spot in the 2023 World Cup. With a string of three consecutive losses, they currently occupy the fourth position in the Group B points table. In their most recent game, Mark Adair showcased an impressive bowling performance, picking up four crucial wickets while maintaining an economy rate of 4.7. Despite that, Ireland conceded a massive total of 325 runs in their allotted 50 overs. Their batsmen also struggled, and Ireland was bundled out for a mere 192 runs in just 31 overs.
UAE, too, failed to make it to the next round. Currently positioned at the bottom of the Group B points table, they have a negative net run rate of -2.071.
In their most recent match against Scotland, UAE opted to bowl first. Junaid Siddique delivered an economical spell, claiming three wickets, helping restrict Scotland to a total of 282/8 in 50 overs.
However, UAE’s batting lineup failed to deliver – none of the batsmen were able to convert their promising starts into substantial scores, ultimately leading to their team being bowled out for a mere 171 runs in 35.3 overs. This was their third consecutive loss in the tournament.
Ireland vs UAE Injury Update
Both teams do not have any injury concerns, but given that both have already been eliminated from the race to the Super Six stage, they could give a chance to some players from their bench strength.
