United States
USA will be hosting ICC full Member Ireland in the first-ever home series for the first installment of the two T20Is, which will be played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida on 23rd December (IST).
USA last played in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier in November and had a successful run in the matches. Recently they played in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Americas Region Qualifiers where they stand on the top with six wins in six matches. However, playing against a full-time ICC member, Ireland will be a different ballgame and a stepping stone into the international cricket genre.
In their last T20Is against Bermuda, batting first they posted a total of 172 Runs where Aaron Jones secured a half-century while the skipper Monank Patel scored 30 Runs. In return, the Bermuda innings concluded at 149 Runs at the end of 20 overs. Rusty Theron, Steven Taylor, and In Holland took two scalps each and will be key bowlers to look out for in this match as well.
