Match Predictions
After a disappointing series draw with South Africa, England head to Ireland for their opening T20I of their tour. England have only won two out of the last ten T20 matches against Ireland so they will be keen to reverse that trend on Friday in Dublin – though Ireland have proven they can match England when it comes to bat and bowl. Their disciplined bowling will likely play a pivotal role.
Ed Joyce will lead from the front for England when he returns, alongside James Shannon who has shown tremendous form in Durham T20 Blast. Together they possess the ability to score big runs at either end of the pitch and can dominate against England’s weakened attack.
Jos Buttler and Phil Salt both made an impactful contribution in England’s 304-2 victory at Old Trafford and can be backed at short odds to top-score against Ireland’s depleted bowling attack. Essex’s Jordan Cox can perform admirably both batting and bowling and could prove an attractive price if England win on Tuesday night.
Ireland’s top-order batting depth will be key in their efforts against England in a Twenty20 International (T20I). Harry Tector has proven himself an adept run scorer, anchoring and accelerating Ireland’s innings while providing crucial powerplay hitting opportunities against England’s diverse bowling attack.
England were underwhelming in the Six Nations after suffering a devastating defeat at Murrayfield and need a victory against Ireland to stand any chance of lifting their title again. England have an excellent track record against Ireland in T20s at home, while they’ve recently been struggling so we predict England to come out victorious after an close contest.
Ireland will look to improve their defensive performance after some loose moments in their opening match at Murrayfield. Craig Young will play an essential role at the back, with Tom Curry rejoining Jack Leaning in the middle order alongside skipper Ed Joyce – although Ed Joyce may struggle to reproduce the form that made him so successful in past campaigns.
Betting Odds
Malahide played host to the opening match of this three-match T20 series at Malahide on Monday and produced plenty of runs and excitement, even despite rain limiting play to 14 overs. Both teams will hope that better weather allows for full 40 overs of action this time around, in order to help determine the outcome of this series decider.
England are favoured to win at odds of 1/14 while Ireland are outsiders at 10/1. England are more likely to come away victorious thanks to their superior squad depth and aggressive T20 template; however, Ireland will hope home advantage can lead to a surprise result.
Jos Buttler and Phil Salt will lead England’s batting attack, while Jordan Cox from Essex could provide a potency lower order threat. All-rounder Ben Duckett will also play an instrumental role for their home side with his ability to both bat and bowl.
Paul Stirling’s Ireland team showed signs of promise with their bat in their opening defeat, featuring half-centuries from Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker. Expect the same batting lineup to start the game but expect captain Stirling to accelerate more rapidly through their powerplay following a slow start in Game 1.
Ireland’s spinners will play an essential role in restricting England’s hard-hitting top order, with George Dockrell and Graham Hume both set to feature. Dockrell claimed two wickets during the series opener while Hume’s economical bowling will limit scoring options on home soil. Barry McCarthy will assume extra responsibilities due to Josh Little and Mark Adair being absent; with his right-armer having an ability to swing the new ball.
