T20I Match 2 | ICC 2024 T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier | Goldenacre, Edinburgh | Betting Tips
The upcoming Regional Qualifier opening game will feature Ireland and Italy competing for a spot in the T20 World Cup 2024. While Ireland has suffered recent losses, they are still expected to win against Italy, a relatively new T20 team with only 14 T20Is under their belt. Italy had a strong showing in the sub-regional Qualifier, but struggled in a Tri-series last November, losing three out of four matches due to difficulties defending their total score. Despite an injury to Gareth Delaney, Ireland remains the favored team due to their superior T20 skills.

Italy: The team has had many different captains in a short period of time, but Gareth Berg and Harry Manenti are expected to return for the upcoming match. Manenti is a key wicket-taking bowler, while Berg is a useful lower-order batsman. Marcus Campopiano is a reliable batsman at number 3, and Grant Stewart impressed as an opener during the Spain Triangular. With Meade, Manenti, and Berg in the lower middle order, Italy’s batting lineup looks deep and promising. Ali Hasan and Damith Kosala are also key bowlers to watch out for in this side.
Ireland: Irish cricket team’s chances in the upcoming Qualifier tournament, with Paul Stirling leading the team after Andrew Balbirnie’s resignation as captain. Despite failing to qualify for the 50 Over World Cup, Ireland is expected to be competitive in the T20 format, and the article suggests they have a good chance of making it to the T20 World Cup in 2024. Paul Stirling is a key player at the top of the order, with Ross Adair likely to open alongside him. Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector are important middle-order batsmen, with Andrew Balbirnie bringing experience to the lineup. The team’s all-rounders make them a strong T20 side, with Josh Little, Mark Adair, and Craig Young being key bowlers.
