Ireland's last match against Germany was washed out without a ball being bowled and as a result, both teams share one point. Ireland has been a dominant force with the ball in the qualifier's tournament and are undefeated in the tournament. Stirling's squad will be up against another unbeaten team Scotland in a battle for the top spot in the points table.
Scotland are coming off another win in the tournament making it five wins in a row. They won their last match against Denmark by 33 runs in a rain-affected clash. Batting first Scotland scored 159/7 in 18 overs on the back of Richie Berrington's valiant half-century (60 runs off 32 balls). Scotland's bowling unit then put up a strong bowling performance as they restricted Denmark to 126/7 in 18 overs.

Ireland vs Scotland Betting Tips
Ollie Hairs has been in phenomenal form in the qualifiers tournament so far smashing 244 runs in five matches including one century and a half-century. Considering his recent form we believe Hairs to be the safest bet to score over 25 runs against Irelan.
Ireland vs Scotland Toss Prediction
The surface at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh has been a good batting surface with teams scoring over 170 runs on multiple occasions. The surface is hard and fast, with a little bit of grass cover offering swing with the new ball and as the game progresses spinners and bowlers bowling cutters, slower balls have been effective.
In the last eight T20I matches played at this venue, the team batting first won six matches, while the team bowling first won two matches. The average first innings score is 168 runs, and the average winning score was 159 runs.
Ireland won one match batting first and one match batting second at the Grange Cricket Club, while Scotland won three matches batting first. Based on these recent records, the team winning the toss is likely to bat first.

Ireland vs Scotland Betting Odds
Ireland to win the match @ 1.63 (Parimatch)
The odds are in favour of Ireland winning the match @ 1.63. Ireland has a better head-to-head record against Scotland and are unbeaten in the qualifiers tournament.
Ireland vs Scotland Top Batters
Lorcan Tector to be the top batter for Ireland
Lorcan Tucker is the leading run-scorer for Ireland in the qualifiers tournament. In his last innings, Tucker remained unbeaten on 14 runs to close out the game. Th26-year-oldld has amassed a total of 128 runs in four matches. Considering his recent run of form we believe Tucker to produce another match-winning knock in the upcoming match against Scotland.
Ollie Hairs to be the top batter for Scotland
Ollie Hairs has been in phenomenal form and is the stand-out performer for Scotland in the qualifiers tournament. He has amassed 244 runs in five matches and is the leading run-scorer in the competition. In his last outing, he scored 17 runs but failed to kick on and score big and we believe Hairs to come good against the strong bowling lineup of Ireland and be the top batter for Scotland.
Ireland vs Scotland Top Bowlers
Mark Adair to be the top bowler for Ireland
Mark Adair has been breathing fire with the ball in the ongoing European qualifiers tournament. Adair finished with figures of 1/17 in four overs in his last match. Adair is the leading wicket-taker for Ireland in the tournament picking up 11 wickets in four matches. We back Adair to continue his good run of form and be the top bowler for Ireland against Scotland.
Safyaan Sharif to be the top bowler for Scotland
Safyaan Sharif has led the Scotland bowling attack from the front by picking up wickets early in the innings and setting the tone for the rest of the bowlers to capitalise. Sharif has picked up nine wickets in five matches. We back Sharif to produce another match-winning spell against Ireland.
