Ireland and the United States of America (USA) are set to compete in the 7th place play-off semi-final 1 match of the ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023 at Takashinga Sports Club on June 30.
Both Ireland and the United States have endured a challenging journey in the qualifiers, failing to secure victories that would have propelled them into the qualifying race. Ireland suffered defeats in three of their matches, while the United States faced a winless campaign, losing all four of their games.
In their previous match against the UAE, Ireland showcased a commendable performance, displaying their potential and securing a resounding victory by 138 runs. Their triumph in that match will serve as a morale booster for the game against United States.
On the other hand, the United States experienced a heavy defeat in their last match against Zimbabwe, highlighting the challenges they have faced throughout the tournament.
