United States Of America vs Ireland, USA vs IRE, Today Match Prediction 23 December 2021

usa vs ire Match Prediction & Analysis

The United States of America (USA) will face Ireland in the first T20I of the two-match series at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill on Tuesday.

USA are still a very young team in international cricket, comprises mainly of players who have represented other countries in the past or who have played domestic cricket elsewhere.

Therefore, this series will mark a beginning in the history of cricket in the US and the players will be eager to showcase their talents against a Test playing nation for the very first time.

Ireland will come in the series a little underprepared as they suffered a Covid-19 outbreak just before their arrival in the United States which surely have disturbed the plans.

Four players and staff members tested positive for the pathogen which led to the call of reserves for the series.

The game will be a historic one as this will be the first-ever meeting between the teams in the 20-over format.
