• Ireland have scored over 190 runs in their last two T20 internationals

• England expected to make changes to give the whole squad some game time

• Recommended bet: Total Runs: Ross Adair - Over 16.5 Runs

England claimed their first ever T20 international win over Ireland in Wednesday’s opening match of the three-game series, recording a four-wicket win in Dublin.

Jacob Bethell celebrated a victory in his first game as captain and the 21-year-old will look to prove that he is a potential permanent skipper in the future.

The hosts though will look to respond and keep the series alive, but this will be only their fourth T20 match of the year and that lack of action could be key.

Team News

Ireland certainly missed key bowling duo Mark Adair and Josh Little and the pair are set to be sidelined again through injury.

It looks likely that the Irish selection panel will stick with the majority of the team that played in the first match, as they were competitive for much of the encounter.

Meanwhile, England are expected to make changes to give all of their 15-man squad a chance to prove their worth ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup.

Sonny Baker and Matthew Potts missed out in the first match and it would be a surprise if they were not included in one of the remaining two matches of the series.

The stats

England have played 11 T20 international matches so far in 2025, winning six and losing five.

Jos Buttler has averaged 50.16 with the bat in his last six T20 internationals for England.

Buttler and opening partner Phil Salt are both inside the top three of the T20 batting rankings.

Ireland have won just six of their last 17 T20 matches, with their last win coming against South Africa in Abu Dhabi 12 months ago.

Prediction

Wednesday may have been England’s first T20 win over Ireland, but it is hard to see them losing a game in this series.

The decision to make wholesale changes to the squad looks to have been a good move, with the majority out to impress the England selectors.

It is worth noting though that Ireland have scored 190+ runs in each of their last two T20 internationals, including 196-3 in the first match of this series. 

So expect the hosts to go hard from the start of their innings and their hopes might rest on their experienced opening pair, Paul Sterling and Ross Adair.

Adair scored 26 off 25 balls in the first match, while the 31-year-old made 48 in Ireland’s previous T20 clash — against West Indies back in June, having struck exactly 100 against South Africa in September 2024.
