In a bid to salvage some pride, Ireland will lock horns with United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the 20th match of the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023 Bulawayo Athletic Club on June 27. Both teams have endured a disappointing campaign thus far, losing all three matches and being eliminated from the race for a spot in the World Cup.
Ireland’s last encounter against Sri Lanka ended in a disheartening defeat, where they succumbed to a massive 133-run margin. Similarly, UAE faced a daunting defeat against Scotland in their previous match, falling short by a considerable 111-run margin.
Pitch report:
The pitch at the Bulawayo Athletic Club is batters-friendly, providing favourable conditions for them to play their shots with confidence. The track offers a reliable bounce, allowing batters to execute strokes freely. However, spinners could pose a challenge for the batters. Opting to chase the target would be the preferred strategy at this venue.
