DHAKA: Ireland are chasing UAE-set 124-run target to win the 8th match of the World T20 first round at Sylhet Stadium on Wednesday.    

Earlier, Ireland won the toss and elected to field at Sylhet   International Cricket Stadium.         

Ireland have a 100 percent win record over the UAE in Twenty20s, and would be fairly confident after beating Zimbabwe in their first match in the tournament by three wickets on March 17.    

UAE, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the group B and would obviously try their level best in a must-win game.

Ireland Squad: WTS Porterfield*, AR Cusack, GH Dockrell, EC Joyce, AR McBrine, TJ Murtagh, KJ O`Brien, NJ O`Brien, AD Poynter, JNK Shannon, MC Sorensen, PR Stirling, SR Thompson, GC Wilson†, CA Young

United Arab Emirates Squad: Khurram Khan*, Ahmed Raza, Amjad Ali†, Amjad Javed, Faizan Asif, AM Guruge, Kamran Shazad, Moaaz Qazi, SP Patil, Rohan Mustafa, Rohit Singh, Shaiman Anwar, Sharif Asadullah, V Shetty, EHSN Silva
