Group B of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 was said to be one which Ireland would dominate, clinically sweeping apart their opposition’s with their pinch perfect brand of cricket. They came into the exhibition tournamnet bestowed with some worldclass performers, names expected to transcend upon the tournamnet with tranquil displays.
And despite the two wins, the side have massively underwhelmed, putting in stinker displays, a discourse which was further epitomised by their defeat to Canada in their foregone clash. The side unravelled and dejected in their pursuit of 156, falling short by 10 runs as they floundered and wavered, waning as they ended up losing at regular intervals to fall short of the target at hand.
As they take on Jersey today, Ireland will be well aware that they can’t afford to lose another match if they are to keep their aspirations of embarking into the next round. They are up against a tricky and guile filled side, one which will be looking to make things extremely tough for Ireland with the side exceeding all expectations with two rousing wins.
They were brought crashing back in the previous fixture as they lost by the smallest of margins, an 8 run defeat against Hong Kong as they faltered in their chase of 144. They fell short at the final hurdle, a display which won’t deter them massively though ahead of today’s impending clash where they’ll be looking make amends and pull off what will be one of the side’s biggest result if they are able to defeat Ireland.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
As the matches have run over on this track, the surface has been quick to unravel and regress, seeing the batsmen face the wrath of the spinners with runs being extremely tough to find over here. The side winning the toss will be looking to bat first and get anything around 150 before the spinners come and flourish with their fruitful line and length.

IRE vs JER Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
Both the wicket-keepers available to us in this docket come way too down in their side’ batting order with choosing a pick being a dicey task. It all fell down to which player is more likely to come out and bat in the middle today, seeing us go in with Gary Wilson from Ireland with the player showing his penchant for quick runs with an innings of 16 runs in the previous clash.
IRE vs JER Dream11 Batsmen
With 27 runs in the side’s previous encounter, Ireland’s opener and most sublime bat, Paul Stirling is the first player to come into our side for this one. We are also getting in his partner in the form of Kevin O’Brien, someone yet to regale us in pristine performances but the acumen bestowed in the batsmen sees us move in for the player for this encounter.
From Jersey meanwhile we are opting for Jonty Jenner with the player continuing with his rousing displays in the previous match as well. While he’s scored quick runs, he showed his application and technique the last time around as he stuck around for 25 runs to see him come into our Dream 11 side for this match.
IRE vs JER Dream11 All-Rounders
Jersey’s all-rounder Ben Stevens is the first name we are going to be roped into our side in this facet with the player piling on 39 runs, the most managed by anyone from his side against Hong Kong. He contributed with the two wickets as well in the previous match, making him an alluring pick, someone whose ravishing displays make him a must have player for the tie.
He’s accompanied by Ben Ward who registered impressive figures of 3-19 the last time around, bowling a restrictive line and length to plunge Hong Kong into losing wickets at regular intervals with opener Harrison Carlyon coming in as well. From Ireland meanwhile we have gotten in the singular pick of Gareth Delany, someone who was seen back for 16 runs after being runout, an innings which gave us an insight into what he’s capable of as a bat.
