The 15th match of the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023 will take place between Sri Lanka and Ireland at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on June 25. The Islanders, buoyed by their impressive performance so far, will be aiming to continue their winning streak, while Ireland desperately seek a turnaround after two consecutive defeats.
Sri Lanka have emerged as one of the dominant teams in the tournament, securing victories in their opening two matches and currently leading the points table. On the contrary, Ireland’s journey in the tournament has been filled with disappointment so far. They have suffered defeats in both their previous matches, leaving them languishing near the bottom of the points table.
Pitch report:
The pitch at Bulawayo’s Queens Sports Club offers a well-balanced surface, providing equal opportunities for both teams. The track gets better as the game progresses so it is expected that the teams winning the toss will opt to chase the target.
