The Premadasa Stadium pitch is expected to start dry and get drier as the tournament goes on, so if there is ever going to be any moisture there it may be in game one.

This is Ireland's first meeting with Australia in a T20 match
Cricinfo reported, "The young pacemen Cummins and Starc appear to have secured their places in the first XI ahead of Hilfenhaus and McKay, while David Hussey appears out of favour and unlikely to displace either Glenn Maxwell or Cameron White. A particularly dry surface may bring Xavier Doherty's left-arm spin into the equation.
