Australia vs Ireland T20 World Cup Highlights – October 31, 2022

While it is not yet confirmed, it appears like this group is becoming a contest for the second semi-final position, following New Zealand’s stunning win against Sri Lanka. If that is the case, Australia and Ireland are squarely in the fray. It may have seemed strange that these two sides would be level on points heading into this match, but Ireland’s victory against England is one of the reasons things are so close – Ireland enters this match narrowly ahead of the hosts on net run rate.

It will be only the second T20 match between the two nations, following a World Cup meeting in 2012 in which Australia won by seven wickets. Despite the fact that it was ten years ago, Australia will most certainly have five players from that game. Regardless of the England outcome, Australia will be heavy favorites at the Gabba, but there is still enough doubt about their form that nothing can be taken for granted. Marcus Stoinis got them over the line against Sri Lanka, but the washout against England left issues unanswered.

The biggest question is if Steven Smith will be able to return to the team after being forced out before the competition. Australia has gone with a power-heavy lineup – skipper Aaron Finch remarked on Sunday that the squad has batters who can adjust – but in a tournament where the ball is king, there is a case to be made for Smith’s talents.

Ireland would likely be more disappointed by the double-header snub at the MCG since, after defeating England, they would have been confident of putting up another fight against Afghanistan. Captain Andy Balbirnie believed they were one ball away from losing with the way Moeen Ali was playing, but they deserved to win. They will, however, seek to strengthen their middle-order batting after losing 9 for 54.

Given that Australia’s group matches conclude with games against Ireland and Afghanistan, there has been a lot of talk about net run rate, which could still decide qualification, but Finch echoed Glenn Maxwell’s comments from the day before, saying that such a focus can be dangerous and that a position of strength must be earned before it can be exploited. However, in a group with razor-thin margins, it might be critical.
