IRE vs SCO Betting Tips & Match Prediction:
Who will win the toss? – ScotlandWho will win the match? – IrelandIRE vs SCO Preview:
After his outstanding all-round performance on Sunday, Mark Adair not only received congratulations from his teammates but also earned the Player of the Match Award. Batting at number eight, he smashed 49 runs off 24 balls and then took 2/34 with the ball. In a game decided by just 1 run, such contributions are crucial.
In this match, Ireland will rely on their experienced opening pair, Andy Balbirnie and skipper Paul Stirling, to find form after both were dismissed for 11 against the Netherlands.
Scotland, on the other hand, have several areas to improve after their defeat to the Netherlands in the tournament opener on Saturday. Their opening bowlers need to be more effective, as the first wicket fell only in the ninth over after the hosts had already amassed 68 runs.
With the bat, only skipper Richie Berrington and keeper-batter Matthew Cross reached double figures, highlighting the need for other players to step up and perform in this game.
IRE vs SCO Possible Playing XI:
Irelands: Andrew Balbirnie, Ross Adair, Lorcan Tucker (c&wk), Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, George Dockrell, Neil Rock, Mark Adair, Graham Hume, Craig Young, Benjamin White
Scotland: Richie Berrington (c), George Munsey, Brandon McMullen, Matthew Cross (wk), Michael Leask, Jack Jarvis, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Safyaan Sharif, Bradley Currie, Gavin Main.

IRE vs SCO Toss Prediction:
The first two games in this Tri-Nation T20I Series have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, it is likely that both sides will prefer to bat first when they arrive at the ground on Monday.
IRE vs SCO Pitch Report:
This wicket tends to offer something for the bowlers and doesn’t provide the batters with much pace to work with. While the top batters may adjust to the speed after spending some time in the middle, those who attempt to attack immediately are unlikely to succeed.
IRE vs SCO Weather Report:
The forecast predicts very humid conditions during the opening couple of hours of this game, with a significant chance of rain interruptions. However, clearer skies and a fresher feel are expected as the evening progresses in The Hague.
