Sri Lanka

Ireland

SL vs IRE Today Match Prediction

Both teams are in fine form and on their day, both teams can get the better of their opposition. Ireland has a very solid bowling line-up. But their batting lineup has to step up more if they are to compete against mighty Sri Lanka. The latter on the other hand have a very solid playing eleven with the right kind of personnel. So expect a tightly contested match where bowlers will have a lot of say.

SL vs IRE Winning Chances

Both teams have what it takes to defeat any opposition on their day. But taking into account the overall team composition, current form, and amount of match-winners in the lineup, Sri Lanka starts as slight favourites for this match. That being said, you cannot count our Ireland. The prominent betting sites are predicting an Ireland win by a slight margin.

Betway- IRE- 2.87, SL- 1.36
