Cameron Green will come in at number three. Green scored 23 runs in the last game. He was the leading run-scorer in the last series against Pak with 93 runs. His strike rate is above 153, and he has scored a fifty in every 4 games he has played. He can be the batter to watch out for.
Genn Maxwell will come in the middle with Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, and Travis Head. Maxwell didn’t play in Pakistan, but his stats in Sri Lanka are mind-blowing. Maxwell has 254 runs in 6 innings played in Sri Lanka at a strike rate of 190.97. He has also picked up 3 wickets in 2 games against Ireland. Stoinis scored 23 runs in the last game. David has 395 runs in the last 10 innings at a strike rate of 198.

AUS Over/Under Betting Tips
Travis Head Total Runs Over 27.5 1.85
Travis Head has had a challenging tour of Pakistan recently, posting scores of 4, 29, and 6 in his last three matches. While these figures may concern Australia, he remains a man for the big occasion, consistently performing in major events. His T20 World Cup record is particularly impressive, with 255 runs in seven matches at an average of 42.50. We are backing Head to kick off his World Cup campaign with a bang and score over 27 runs in today’s match against Ireland.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Travis Head (c), Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Renshaw, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett, Matthew Kuhnemann, Adam Zampa.

Paul Stirling will open the innings with Ross Adair. Adair scored 34 off 23 in the last game. Stirling has been going through rough phase and has 109 runs in the last 6 games. Harry Tector will come in at number three. He scored 40 runs in the last game. He has 327 runs in the last 10 games at a strike rate of 128.74. He will be the batter to watch out for.

Matthew Humphreys will lead the bowling attack with Barry McCarthy, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, and Mark Adair. McCarthy and Dockrell picked up 2 wickets each in the last game.

IRE Over/Under Betting Tips
Lorcan Tucker Total Runs Over 13.5 1.85
Tucker scored 21 runs in 18 balls against Sri Lanka, like Tector he also couldn't kick on after getting a start. He has scored over 13 runs in three of the last five T20I's and the last time he played against Australia, Tucker smashed a classy knock of 71. Having played at RPS a couple of days ago, he will be well aware of the pitch conditions and we back Tucker to make an impact with the bat and score over 13 runs in today's match.
Harry Tector Total Runs Over 15.5 1.85
Harry Tector scored 40 runs in 34 balls in the last match against Sri Lanka but he couldn't kick on and take his team over the line. He has scores of 40, 20, 4, 13 and 96 in the last five matches, where he has three scores of over 15. Considering his current form, we back Tector to score over 15 runs in today's match against Australia.

Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Total 6's in Match Under 12.5 1.80
The surface at R Premadasa Stadium favours the bowlers and the boundary dimensions are also big which presents a huge challenge ahead of the batters to clear the ropes and the last match played at this venue saw less than 10 sixes. We predict less number of sixes in this match and the total sixes count to be under 13.
Australia to win the coin toss 1.90
We predict Australia to win the coin toss in today's match against Ireland.
Toss: To Bowl
It is a bowling-friendly pitch. In 60 T20Is played here team bowling first has won on 35 occasions, including the last 10 out of the 12 games. Australia have won last 3 games they have played at Colombo while bowling first.
AUS vs IRE
Winning Prediction
Australia’s weakness against spinners was highlighted against Pakistan as they lost 22 wickets to spinners in the three match series. But Ireland doesn’t have many spinners. Australia has 3 wins at Colombo in the last 3 games. 6 Australia batters have strike rate of 150 in recent 10 games. Ireland lacks the explosiveness. They scored just 1 six in the first game.
We predict that the Australia will win against Ireland!
