England vs Ireland, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
Ireland’s tour of England started with the first of the three-match ODI series being abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled. The two teams now move to Nottingham for the second ODI.
The last time the two sides faced off, Ireland stunned England as they chased down 329 for the loss of three wickets. England still dominate the head-to-head record, emerging victorious on 10 occasions while Ireland have won twice.
England come into the series having beaten New Zealand 3-1 in an ODI series. The home team has rested all 15 members of the World Cup squad, only including Joe Root for the first ODI. Zak Crawley, who will be playing just his fourth ODI, will lead the English.
Ireland had a forgettable tournament the last time they played ODIs. Though they have a full-strength squad, momentum is not on their side.
