ESPN will live telecast the match live. The live streaming of the match can be watched at the ESPN official website.

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.
