Ireland will host England in the third T20I of the series at The Village in Dublin. The hosts suffered a four-wicket defeat in the first game, while the second match was called off due to rain. Hence, there’s plenty to play for in the third T20I.
Dublin:
England registered a comfortable four-wicket victory in the opening T20I of the three-match series. Openerย Phil Salt stole the show, smashing 89 runs off 46 deliveries. He stitched a valuable 74-run partnership with Jos Buttler, which helped the Three Lions win the match with 14 balls remaining.ย
Notably, Ireland also had a decent outing with the ball, but it’s the bowlers who need to step up. With the bat, Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker had a good game, scoring a half-century each, which helped Ireland post 196 runs on the board. Meanwhile, the second T20I of the match was called off due to rain.
