    Brisbane: Australia VS Ireland Brisbane: Australia VS Ireland

    Ireland began the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup with a loss to Zimbabwe before qualifying for the Super 12 stage with wins over the West Indies and Scotland. In their first match, they were crushed by Sri Lanka as they lost by nine wickets with 30 balls remaining. However, they kept their composure and beat England by five runs using the DLS method.

    On the other hand, Australia started their Super 12 phase with an 89-run defeat to New Zealand. They then beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets. Marcus Stoinis' firm knock of 59 runs off 18 deliveries made the difference as spinners Maheesh Theekshana, and Wanindu Hasaranga took a battering. Their last match against England was abandoned without a single ball being bowled.

    1. Marcus Stoinis, who scored Australia's fastest half-century in T20I cricket, has become one of the best hitters in the world.

    Pitch Report

    Although seamers may get more pace out of Brisbane's batting surface, it is still good. Since square boundaries are relatively long, it is simple to hit the ground directly. Since the wicket doesn't change much, it's preferable to bowl first.
