Ireland punching back , 280 is possible with wickets in tact. Would need to swing hard though.

I wonder how that works? It’s not a Home series so surely the groundsman can’t prepare a wicket that favours one side over the other?

Ireland giving the Scots a run around. Puts our performance against Ireland in perspective. Get the feeling that Scotland may run out of steam over the next couple games.

Even if Scotland win this match, their NRR is not going to improve a great deal which is great news for Zimbabwe.

But this pitch looks like Friday’s? Ya I’m not sure.

Scotland aren’t chasing this.

But this pitch looks like Friday’s? Ya I’m not sure.

No way near as much turn or holding up in the wicket as Friday.

Also the pitch is more to the middle of the square where Fridays match was played further towards to grandstand so deffo not the same wicket.

[Googly]

I don’t see the purpose of 90m boundaries square of the wicket either.

[Googly]

No but when they were doing the pitch report it looked like it had been recently used. Had bowlers’ and batters’ scuff marks.

This is really good. I don't think Ireland are going to lose this. Too much at stake. They are still in it if they win today and we win tomorrow. Every other team besides the West Indies will be supporting us tomorrow. If we win it will basically create 2 semi-final games where only 1 team goes through. Unbelievable.. let's hope it's a turning track
