Sri Lanka vs Ireland Chance of Winning
Sri Lanka’s form would be a point of concern as they head into this World Cup as they joint host this tournament and would be hoping to turn things around at home. Sri Lanka has struggled to make an impact in this calendar year as in the last series they lost against England 3-0.
Unlike their opponents, Ireland have done well recently and would be hoping to cause a big upset early on in this campaign. They went head to head against Italy at the start of the year and beat them 2-1 and in the last series they beat UAE 2-0. As per our calculations, Sri Lanka are favourites in the upcoming game.
- Sri Lanka’ chances of winning - 95%
- Ireland’ chances of winning - 05%
Sri Lanka vs Ireland Prediction & Tips 2026
Pathum Nissanka was flawless last year and has been one of the key figures for Sri Lanka in this campaign. We expect him to play a key role in this campaign and to dominate this fixture.
Paul Stirling has struggled for consistency throughout last year and we expect him to continue to struggle in this campaign. He scored 143 runs with an average of 20.42 which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.
