Australia vs Ireland Chance of Winning
Australia head into this tournament as one of the favourites to go all the way but their form heading into this tournament will be concerning as they have just one win in the last eight matches. Australia lost against India at home and then in the last series against Pakistan they struggled to compete and lost the series 3-0.
Unlike their opponents, Ireland have done well recently and would be hoping to cause a big upset. They went head to head against Sri Lanka in the opening game and they struggled in the run chase as they lost the game by 20 runs. As per our calculations, Australia are favourites in the upcoming game.
- Australia’ chances of winning - 93%
- Ireland’ chances of winning - 07%
Australia vs Ireland Prediction & Tips 2026
Glenn Maxwell has been underwhelming since he returned after a long lay off due to injury. He was abysmal in the BBL and we expect his struggles to continue in this tournament. He will score low in the upcoming game.
Paul Stirling has struggled for consistency throughout last year as he scored 143 runs with an average of 20.42. In the opening game he scored six runs which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.
Australia vs Ireland Match Toss Prediction
Historically the teams that have bowled first have dominated the game at the venue. The last two of the three games have been won by the teams that have batted first regardless, we believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game.
Weather Report
We expect cloudy conditions in Colombo with minimum chances of any disruption during the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 29C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 23C.
