Austria and Ireland lockhorns in Match 7 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup European Qualifiers 2024 on Sunday, July 23 at Grange Cricket Club, Edinburgh. The match is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM IST.

Austria vs Ireland Chance of Winning

Austria are coming off a horrendous loss against Germany in their previous game. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Austria's decision backfired as they were bundled out for just 83 runs in 18.4 overs. Mark Simpson Parker and Aqib Javed Iqbal top scored with 24 runs each. In reply, Germany chased down the target in just 10.1 overs, registering their first win of the season.

Austria have now lost back-to-back games in the tournament and are on the verge of elimination. The major issue for the Austrian side has been their batting unit, which has failed to perform consistently. With three games remaining in the qualifiers tournament, Austria will be hoping to turn things around with a win against Ireland.

Ireland, on the other hand, are coming off a dominant win over Denmark in their previous game. Bowling first, Ireland restricted Denmark to 122/9 in 20 overs, thanks to three-wicket hauls from Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy, with Benjamin White picking up two wickets. In reply, Ireland chased down the target in 14.3 overs, with half-centuries from Andrew Balbirnie (53 runs off 38 balls) and Paul Stirling (55 runs off 39 balls). The Irish have now won both the matches they have played in the tournament and are top of the table with four points. They will be looking to continue their dominance and register another win against Denmark in their upcoming game on Sunday.

Austria vs Ireland Betting Tips

Ireland captain Paul Stirling started off the tournament with a bang, hitting 57 runs in two matches. He scored 55 runs in 39 balls, hitting nine fours and striking at 141.03. The experienced right-hander will look to continue his good run of form and we expect Stirling to score more than 25 runs against the weak bowling lineup of Austria.

Stirling's opening partner Andrew Balbirnie is the second highest run-scorer in the tournament with 77 runs in 2 matches. Balbirnie's good run of form is a positive sign for Ireland as he is one of the key batters in the Irish batting lineup. Considering his recent form, we expect Balbirnie to score more than 30 runs in his upcoming match against Austria.

Ireland Recent Form

Ireland started their T20 World Cup Qualifier campaign with a seven-run win over Italy in a closely fought contest. In their second match, Ireland put on a dominant display to defeat Denmark by nine wickets. Both Ireland's batting and bowling units have performed exceptionally well in the first two matches of the tournament. They will need to continue their good run of form to qualify for the next round of qualifiers.

Austria vs Ireland Head to Head Record

Ireland and Austria have never played each other in a T20 match. This will be the first time they will face each other in this format.

Austria vs Ireland Betting odds

Ireland to win the match @ 1.02 (Parimatch)

The odds are in favour of Ireland to win the match. Ireland won both the matches they played in the qualifiers tournament, while Austria lost to Jersey. Considering the recent form of both the teams, we predict Ireland to win the match against Austria.

Austria vs Ireland Top Batters

Mark Simpson Parker to be the top batter for Austria

Mark Simpson Parker has been in good form, getting off to a good start in the previous matches but failing to convert it into a match-winning knock. He has scored 32 runs in two matches and will hope to add a few more runs to his tally and produce a match-winning knock. We believe Mark Simpson Parker will come good against Ireland.

Paul Stirling to be the top batter for Ireland

Paul Stirling has been in phenomenal form, smashing three fifties in his last five innings in T20 cricket. He scored a match-winning half-century in his last outing against Denmark. Considering his good run of form, we believe that Stirling will be the top batter for Ireland against Austria.

Austria vs Ireland Top Bowlers

Aqib Javed Iqbal to be the top bowler for Austria

Aqib Javed Iqbal is one of Austria's key bowlers. He has been in good form, troubling batsmen with his line and length. He has picked up 18 wickets in 30 T20 matches and is one of the best bowlers in the Austrian lineup. We expect him to deliver a productive bowling spell and pick up some wickets against Ireland.

Mark Adair to be the top bowler for Ireland

Mark Adair has been the strike bowler for Ireland in the tournament. He is also the leading wicket-taker in the qualifiers tournament, with six wickets in two matches. We expect Adair to continue his magical performance with the ball and produce another match-winning spell against Austria.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Ireland

The oddsmakers favour Ireland to win the match at odds of 1.02, while Austria is favoured to win at odds of 19.50. Ireland is the in-form team heading into the contest, having played a positive brand of cricket with their bowlers delivering and picking up wickets while their batting unit racking up runs to aid their bowlers. Austria, on the other hand, has struggled against less experienced teams and their batting unit looks completely out of form in the tournament so far. Considering the recent form and record of both the teams, we predict Ireland to win the match against Austria.

  • Austria to win the match @ 19.50 (Parimatch)
  • Ireland to win the match @ 1.02 (Parimatch)
