They will be without a few of their premium fast bowlers and it will be interesting to see how they fare in this WT20.

On the other hand, Ireland suffered a defeat in the previous match against Sri Lanka. They fought well but could not close out the game as they lost by 20 runs. They might make a few changes in the bowling department for this match. Paul Stirling will lead
