Sri Lanka take on Ireland in Match 15 of Group B of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers on Sunday at the Queen Sports club in Bulawayo. A win will secure the place for Lankans in the Super 6 of the competition. Ireland, on the other hand, will hope Oman loses to Scotland today in another contest. Oman are on 4 points from 3 matches and will be stuck at same if they lose to Scotland. They have poorer NRR than Ireland, who have not won any match so far. Ireland have 2 matches left and the only way to qualify for Super 6 is by winning both. But they also need to hope and pray that Oman and Scotland lose their remaining matches too. United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the first team from the group to get eliminated while Nepal, United States of America (USA) have been eliminated from Group A.
