Concerning Batting for SL
Take out 27 from Jaya and 78 from Blabba ex King and SL scorecard looks a poor reading. 144/9 in 20 overs could still be a match winning score for the 3 Ms. But this is a worrying trend for them in the run to the finals. 150 for 7 in Pak game and now 144 for 9. Just 1 batsman in both games have fired.
If SL win today they go through to the semis.
India vs Ireland fact bax
India has won the toss and rightly would bowl first.
Last time India played Ireland in any international game was in 2007 when they capped on the successful tour of England after a disastrous WC’07.
Two players from that game would fancy today’s game :
-
ROhit Sharma made his international debut and DNB as Sourav cracked a match winning 50.
-
But it was Gautam Gambhir who stole the limelight with a match winning 80 and cemented his place in the ODi series leading to his comeback. Mind you he had missed out the world cup berth to Robin Uthappa.
Ireland favorites
The way Ireland are going by, i fancy Ireland thump Deshis who like their former brothers in Pakistan have no plans and no objective, just mindless slogging.
