The surface will be good for batting but is not a belter as there is some slowness in the pitch. A batter needs to get used to pace and bounce before playing shots. A score of 160 can be a good one to defend.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Ireland picked up a nervy one run win over Netherlands in the previous game. The team struggled with the bat and could only score 150-8 in 20 overs, however, the bowlers helped the team stay alive in the game with an outstanding show and eventually helped the team win by 1 run.
IRE Team Batting
Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector will be the batters to watch out for. Balbirnie did not score much in the first game but he is one of the best batters in the Ireland team. Lorcan Tucker played well and scored 40 runs. Tector was dismissed for a duck but he is a class batter as well.
IRE Team Bowling
Ireland’s bowling will rest on Mark Adair, Craig Young and Gareth Delany. Adair played a key role in Ireland’s defence and picked two crucial runs. Also, Curtis Campher picked two wickets. Gareth Delany could not pick a wicket but he is good bowler and can trouble the Scottish batters.
