Unfortunately for Australia, they lost their first game of the 2022 T20 World Cup to New Zealand and then had one victory followed by a washed out game. So, they find themselves fourth on the Super 12s Group 1 points table, desperately needing a victory here today if they want to improve their chances of making the semi finals. This game against Ireland is now the perfect chance for them to get 2 points and go ahead.
And while Ireland is the clear underdog, they’re not a team to take lightly either, as they’re currently higher up on the points table than Australia too. They lost in the Super 12s to Sri Lanka and had their match against Afghanistan washed out, but their main win was against England, who they got past by 5 runs (D/L method).

- 5 and 11 – David Warner’s scores this tournament.
- 7 previous T20Is at this ground – 5 won batting first.
Australia
After contracting Covid-19, both of Matthew Wade and Adam Zampa are set to be a part of the AUS vs IRE playing XI today and given their dominance in this format and the T20 World Cup in general, both should make your AUS vs IRE fantasy team. Marcus Stoinis’ place seemed to be in doubt with Cameron Green waiting on the bench but after that blitz against Sri Lanka, he’s cemented his place and makes our team as well.
Australia has won 5 of their 6 previous T20Is at this venue and they’ll look to push on. In only one previous game here, Mitchell Starc picked 4/20 and given his love for major ICC events, we’re adding him to our AUS vs IRE Dream11 team for today’s clash. Struggling in this T20 WC 2022 so far, David Warner may not be a part of many teams but he’s got two fifties in three prior T20Is here and he definitely loves batting at The Gabba.
Ireland
We think a couple of the Irish pacers are going to be crucial to their chances here today. One of them is 22-year old Josh Little who has great variations and after a 3-fer against Zimbabwe in the qualifiers, he picked 2 in the powerplay against England (Hales + Buttler). We’re picking him along with Mark Adair who has great variations in the death overs and won’t be a very popular pick either, since he’s gone wicketless in the last 3 games.

With the bat, Lorcan Tucker used to average barely above 11 with the bat at other positions but after being moved to number #3, he’s been scoring at an average of 37+ and he likes to get a move on early on, so he’s a part of our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) AUS vs IRE fantasy team. Expect a big contribution from Curtis Campher as the all-rounder got a fifty and 2-fer in one game against Scotland in this competition.
