Australia vs Ireland Preview Match 14
The World Cups and Australia have always been a successful love story, and the mighty Aussies are all set to start their T20 World Cup 2026 journey in the next clash against Ireland. However, their build-up wasn’t ideal, as they suffered a nightmare 3-0 whitewash in a three-match T20I series against Pakistan. As they are set for a new journey, they will be eyeing a positive start.
On the other hand, Ireland faced Sri Lanka in their last match, but the clash ended in heartbreak. While bowling first, the Ireland bowlers tried to dominate them as George Dockrell’s economical bowling set the tone. Along with that, McCarthy and other bowlers tightened their grips, restricting Sri Lanka to 163 runs.
Chasing down the total, Ireland lost an early wicket, but Ross Adair and Harry Tector tried to turn the tide. But Hasaranga sent Adair back in 34 runs. But Tector’s 40 and Lorcan Tucker’s 21-run innings tried to keep the dream alive, but the other bowlers failed to make an impact. With that, Ireland faced a 20-run defeat. After a heartbreak, they are now eyeing a positive start.
