ENG vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis
The first ODI between England and Ireland at Headingley was abandoned without a ball being bowled. This new-look England squad will now hope for better weather in Nottingham, where they take on the visitors in the second match of the series. Despite having a relatively inexperienced squad, England will start as favorites for the match. There is a lot of exciting talent there that might prove too much for the Irish to handle.

TEAMS PREVIEW
England Preview
England has opted to provide rest to a number of players who took part in the New Zealand series. Leading this refreshed England squad will be Zak Crawley, which also includes three players who have yet to earn their first caps. Crawley has played just three ODIs so far, scoring 97 runs in them at an average of 48.50 and a strike rate of 114. This series will be a great opportunity for him to stake his claim as an ODI batter as well.
Watch out for uncapped Sam Hain in this series. In List A cricket, the middle-order batsman boasts the second-highest historical average at an impressive 57.96. Over recent years, he has diversified his playing style, evolving into a versatile batter with a 360-degree approach against fast bowlers and a tactful strategist when confronting spinners.
Also worth noting is the promising talent of Phil Salt. In his 14 ODIs, he has contributed significantly, amassing 460 runs at an average of 38.33 and maintaining an impressive strike rate of 125.
Joe Root, who was added to England's squad for the first ODI, is unlikely to stay with the squad for the second match, and is instead expected to rest.
England's bowling department will feature several fresh faces too, including Brydon Carse and George Scrimshaw, along with Luke Wood, Craig Overton, and Matthew Potts, all of whom provide seam-bowling options. Rehan Ahmed is the main spin bowler in the team. The 19-year-old leg-spinner has played just one ODI so far, but in his maiden Test, he ended up bagging 7 wickets against Pakistan at Karachi.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Will Jacks, Phil Salt (wk), Jamie Smith, Zak Crawley (c), Ben Duckett, Sam Hain, Rehan Ahmed, Brydon Carse, Tom Hartley/George Scrimshaw, Luke Wood, Matthew Potts
England Actual Playing XI:
Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, George Scrimshaw, Sam Hain, Jamie Smith, Will Jacks, Ben Duckett, Matthew Potts, Philip Salt, Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley
Ireland Preview
The Ireland squad for the England series is looking strong, and at its core is the experienced Paul Stirling. Stirling, who has been performing exceptionally well recently with 346 runs in his last ten matches, will captain the team. Andrew Balbirnie and Stirling will be the opening batsmen for Ireland, as per their announcement. Balbirnie has played 13 ODIs this year, smashing 363 runs in them at an average of 36.30 and a strike rate of 73.33.
Curtis Campher will be taking on the number 3 position in this series. He's been a key figure in Ireland's middle order for a while now, but we feel he should be able to deliver in this new role as well.
Harry Tector is a batsman worth keeping in your side. As a middle-order player, he has been consistently delivering strong performances, with an average of almost 49 runs in his last ten matches.
Mark Adair and Josh Little will take charge of Ireland's bowling attack. These conditions should suit both of these skillful new ball bowlers. Adair, with 20 wickets in his last 10 matches at a strike rate of 24.4, is our pick as the standout bowler for Ireland in this series.
Ireland Predicted Playing XI:
Paul Stirling (c), Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Andy McBrine, Mark Adair, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy
Ireland Actual Playing XI:
Andy McBrine, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Mark Adair, Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie, Craig Young, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Joshua Little, Barry McCarthy
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Trent Bridge is traditionally flat and hard, offering consistent bounce and pace for the batsmen. The morning moisture may provide some help for the seamers in the early stages of the game. Fast bowlers who can swing the ball early can pose a threat, but the surface tends to flatten out as the day progresses. Spinners are unlikely to find much turn here and will be tonked for runs if they don’t maintain proper lines and lengths.
The weather in Nottingham will be mostly cloudy throughout the day.
ENG vs IRE Pitch Report
The average score batting first at Trent Bridge is 250. The highest team total at the venue is the colossal 481-6 blasted by England against Australia in 2018. It was then the highest team total in ODIs before England themselves broke it against the Netherlands last year. Trent Bridge, in fact, has seen two totals over 400, underscoring its reputation as a favorable pitch for batsmen. The team batting first should look to set a target of at least 320 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
25 out of the 49 ODIs played at Trent Bridge have been won by the chasing team. Moreover, the weather is expected to be cloudy during the game. So, the team winning the toss is likely to field first to allow their seam bowlers to take advantage of the overhead conditions.
ENG vs IRE
Winning Prediction
Ireland has been on a kind of winning spree in white-ball cricket against England. They managed to secure a victory over England by five runs via the DLS method during a rain-affected match at last year's T20 World Cup in Melbourne. Furthermore, three years ago, they achieved a memorable win against England in their most recent ODI encounter. In that unforgettable game, they successfully chased down a record total of 329 at the Ageas Bowl, securing a seven-wicket triumph. Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling played pivotal roles in this victory, both recording centuries, with Stirling leading the scoring with an impressive 142 runs from 128 balls.
The visitors will fancy their chances against this new-look and inexperienced English side. Their batters, particularly, should do well on this surface against this English bowling attack. That said, England’s batting still looks pretty strong, and they know these conditions well. Overall, we feel England should be able to dominate this contest.
Back England as the winners of this match.
