Top Picks for NOR vs MUN 11Wickets Match:
Andy McBrine is the Irish captain and he will be a key player for his side. Even though he got only 38 runs in the first match, he should be able to come back in this match.
Graham Hume was absolutely brilliant in both disciplines in the previous match. He scored 44 runs from 54 balls and then bowled a spell of two wickets and gave only 38 runs.
Curtis Campher made his debut for Ireland last year against England and showed what a great talent he is with the bat and the ball. He should be looking to start off the tournament with a good performance.
Gareth Delany is one of the key bowlers for the Reds going into this tournament. He is a top pacer and can also contribute with the bat.
