SCO vs IRE Dream11 Team Prediction:

Suggestions:

• In WK, Niall O’Brien is experienced but Matthew Cross is an opener for Scotland. Choose by your instinct.
• William Porterfield has been consistent at the top for Ireland
• Kevin O’Brien is expensive, if you can fit him in the team, he’s a great player. SCO will be captained by Berrington, he is a very good batsman.
• Medium pace bowlers take more wickets than spinners on this ground. Alasdair Evans will be a good bowling option to choose from SCO.
