Sri Lanka will be visiting Ireland in Jun 2016 to play slew of one day matches. The series consist of 2 encounters that will be played on June 16, 2016 and June 18, 2016 respectively .As far as two teams are concerned, they are well balanced and will fight to the finish to claim the series. From Sri Lanka, Captain Angelo Mathews would like to conclude the Ireland trip with a win. Pitches in the country aid swing and Sri Lankan batsmen will have a pretty hard time. The home side will be led by the captain William Porterfield who has an impressive ODI average exceeding 30 runs in an inning. Last time the two teams met in the year 2014 when Sri Lanka toured the beautiful country for ODI series and won it 1-0. The last match was abandoned due to rain.
With the greats retired, the tourist team is under the rebuilding process, therefore Ireland has a golden chance to set the record straight and win the series. NIALL O BRIEN is a pretty experienced customer and will be keen to stabilize the middle order if the top collapses. On the bowling front, the home team appears formidable as CRAIG young will be spearheading the attack. He is a right arm fast medium bowler with a sterling average of 17.16 in the ODIs. Sri Lankans can only take Ireland lightly at their own peril. Rising deliveries that move away could test the patience of the openers who are not in good form as they rarely move their feet.
Young will be aided by Stuart Thompson who is also right arm fast medium bowler and can create problems by firing out swingers at the start of the innings and Yorkers at death. In a nutshell, the nail biting battle would keep the spectators at the edge of their seats.
