Cricket Prediction | England vs Ireland | 2nd ODI | September 23, 2023 – This would be a tough competition for Ireland as the first ODI was abandoned.

England vs Ireland Match Analysis

Without bowling a ball, the inaugural One-Day International between England and Ireland at Headingley was called off. The second game of the series will be played in Nottingham, where the revamped England team will now pray for better weather. Despite having a team that is somewhat inexperienced, England will enter the game as the favorite. There is a lot of fascinating potential there, and the Irish might not be able to handle it.

The players who competed in the New Zealand series will receive some rest from England. Zak Crawley will be in charge of this revamped England team, which also contains three players who have yet to win their first caps.

The Irish team for the England series is looking good, and Paul Stirling is at the heart of it. The team will be captained by Stirling, who has been playing excellently lately with 346 runs in his previous 10 games.

In a recent ODI match the South Africa locked horns with Australia and it was a contest that had cricket fans on the edge of their seats. 

England vs Ireland Team Preview & Squads

England

In this series, beware of Sam Hain, who has no caps. The middle-order batsman in List A cricket has the second-highest historical average with a respectable 57.96. Phil Salt’s budding talent is another thing to take note of. He has made a major contribution in his 14 ODIs, scoring 460 runs at an excellent 38.33 average and a striking rate of 125.

Joe Root, who was introduced to the England team for the first ODI, is not anticipated to play in the second game and is likely to rest.

Brydon Carse, George Scrimshaw, Luke Wood, Craig Overton, and Matthew Potts are just a few of the newcomers in England’s bowling lineup. They all offer seam-bowling alternatives. The team’s primary spin bowler is Rehan Ahmed.

England Squads

England

Zak Crawley (c), Phil Salt (wk), Jamie Smith, Sam Hain, Brydon Carse, Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley/George Scrimshaw, Ben Duckett, Luke Wood, Will Jacks, Matthew Potts

Ireland

According to Ireland’s announcement, Andrew Balbirnie and Stirling will bat first. This year, Balbirnie has participated in 13 ODIs and has scored 363 runs at an average of 36.30 and a strike rate of 73.33.

In this series, Curtis Campher will occupy the third spot. He has long played a significant role in Ireland‘s middle order. A batsman worth having in your lineup is Harry Tector. He has a history of consistently turning forth solid performances as a middle-order player.

Ireland’s bowling assault will be led by Mark Adair and Josh Little. Both of these talented new ball bowlers should be comfortable in these circumstances. Our choice for the best bowler for Ireland in this series is Adair, who has 20 wickets in his last 10 games at a strike rate of 24.4.

England vs Ireland outfield report

Trent Bridge, Nottingham

The chasing team has triumphed in 25 of the 49 ODIs that have been played at Trent Bridge. Therefore, the team that wins the toss will probably elect to field first so that their seam bowlers may benefit from the overhead circumstances.

Throughout the day, it will be largely cloudy in Nottingham.

The pitch at Trent Bridge is typically flat and firm, providing the batsmen with constant bounce and pace. Early in the game, the seamers may benefit a little from the morning moisture.
