Preview :

England and Ireland are all set to take on one another in their upcoming three-match ODI series, which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, September 20. The series could go a long way for England in their preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. England had squared off against New Zealand in their last match, where England won the toss and elected to bat. They started decently, although they lost Bairstow pretty early. Dawid Malan held the fort from one end, kept scoring continuously as he notched up another century, and took his team to a strong total of 311 runs. In reply, New Zealand did not start as they would have hoped for. There were a couple of good knocks, but they lacked a player who could take charge like Malan did for England and, hence, lost the match by 100 runs.

Ireland had last played against Nepal, where Ireland won the toss, and they elected to field. Nepal started decently, lost a couple of wickets, but kept scoring at a good pace. Third and fifth-wicket partnerships were brilliant enough to bring them back in the game and place them in a good spot. By the end of the innings, they were able to post a good total of 268 runs. Ireland did not start too strong, but half-centuries by Harry Tector and Curtis Campher brought them back and made the match interesting as they won the match closely by just two wickets. Ireland, who failed to make it to the ODI World Cup, would still look to put in a good performance and give England a run for their money. On the other hand, England, coming on the back of a brilliant series win against New Zealand, will look to further improve and dominate their opponents.
