The cool and cloudy conditions do help the new ball bowlers more, but the circumstances become better as the game progresses.

TOP Picks For IRE vs SCO Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- George Munsey: Scotland’s opener scores 72 runs off 44 balls in the last game against the Netherlands. He is their in-form batter who can make a real impact with the bat.
- Lorcan Tucker: The last six innings of Lorcan Tucker reads scores of 40, 73, 51, 4, 48 and 44. Certaionly, the Ireland wicket-keeper batsman is in red-hot form at the moment. He is also striking at a quick-rate, and that makes him a dangerous player.
- Andy Balbirnie: One of the finest batters in Ireland’s Playing XI. He had a good series against Pakistan as well, scoring a combined 128 runs in 3 matches, including 77 runs in the first match. Ireland’s batting depends a lot on him and how he scores his runs.
- Mark Adair: He had a perfect outing in the 1st T20I against the Netherlands. The 28-year-old Irish all-rounder scored the 49 runs off just 24 balls, and took 2 wickets as well. He is that kind of player who, more often than not, always impacts the game in some way or another.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Fionn Hand: He has picked up seven wickets in his last four T20 outings. With three wickets, he wreaked havoc in Dutch’s middle-order, ending with an exceptional figure of 3-18 in four overs.
- Harry Tector: Scored 36, 32 and 30* in three matches against Pakistan. The 24-year-old has all the talent in the world to become a solid white-ball cricketer.
- Curtis Campher: Ireland’s team is stocked with some quality all-rounders and Curtis Campher certainly belongs in that discussion. He can score runs and possesses quality as a bowler as well. The 25-year-old picked up two wickets in the last match against the Dutch.
- Mark Watt: He is a handy lower-order batsman and a solid bowler as well. The 27-year-old scored a quick-fire 19 runs at the back end of the innings against the Netherlands and capped it off with a sensational four-wicket spell in the 2nd innings.
