Preview:
Ireland will take on Germany in the Group A contest of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier A 2021/22 on Monday. Ireland kept their chances alive with 21 runs win over Bahrain on Saturday. Winning is not enough they must win this match by a bigger margin to keep their net run-rate ahead of Bahrain. With one win and a loss, they are at 3rd spot in the Group A standings with 2 points.
Germany on the other hand, are almost out of the tournament as they lost two back-to-back matches against Bahrain and UAE. The chances of them making it to the semi-finals are very less. There is considerable improvement in their batting in the 2nd game which is a positive sign.
