IRE vs ENG Today’s Match Prediction

Check out our prediction for the IRE vs ENG 2nd T20I at The Village in Dublin (Malahide).

England will look to continue with the carnage

England will look to continue their ruthless dominance as they head into the second T20I against Ireland at Malahide. Fresh off a thrilling 4-wicket win in the series opener, the visitors will be brimming with confidence. Phil Salt’s explosive 89 off 46 balls was the cornerstone of England’s chase of 197, showcasing the kind of firepower that makes them one of the most feared white-ball sides in the world.

With the series on the line, England will aim to seal the deal early and experiment with their deep bench of short-format specialists. Jacob Bethell’s leadership, combined with the experience of Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid, gives the side a perfect blend of youth and guile. Ireland, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly. Despite posting a competitive 196/3 in the first match, their bowling lacked bite in the death overs.

Expect England to come out swinging again, targeting Ireland’s inexperienced attack and looking to wrap up the series with flair. If the hosts don’t tighten their lines and fielding, another carnage could be on the cards.

For Ireland, the series is on the line

For Ireland, the second T20I is nothing short of a must-win encounter. After a spirited batting display in the opener, where they posted a formidable 196/3, the hosts were undone by England’s aggressive chase led by Phil Salt. Now trailing 0-1 in the series, Ireland must regroup quickly to keep their hopes alive. The top order—especially Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector—showed promise, but the bowling unit lacked control in the death overs, allowing England to snatch victory with ease.

Captain Paul Stirling will be keen to inspire a sharper performance, particularly from his seamers, who struggled with line and length under pressure. Fielding lapses also proved costly and must be addressed if Ireland are to level the series. With pride and momentum at stake, expect Ireland to come out with renewed intent. A win here not only salvages the series but also sends a strong message about their resilience on home soil. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.

England (ENG)

England’s approach should be the same as we saw in the first game.

Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (WK), Jacob Bethell (C), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Liam Dawson, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood

After putting up a total in excess of 190, the Irish batting line-up should remain unchanged.
There could be changes in the bowling lineup, especially after failing to defend a good total on the board.
Jordan Neil or Curtis Campher could come into the eleven for bowling all-rounder Curtis Campher, who bowled only a solitary over in the last game and went for 13.
There’s only one more player available on the bench, i.e., Benjamin Calitz, who is a batter.

Weather Conditions and Pitch Report

Here’s the pitch and weather report for the 2nd T20I match between Ireland and England at The Village, Dublin (Malahide):

Pitch Report	Weather Report
The surface at The Village is traditionally batter-friendly, offering consistent bounce and pace. Expect the ball to come nicely onto the bat, allowing stroke-makers to dominate early.	The weather in Dublin is expected to be cloudy with intermittent showers throughout the day. Rain could play spoilsport, especially during the evening hours.
With short square boundaries and a lightning-fast outfield, big-hitters will be licking their lips. Powerplay overs could see a flurry of boundaries.	The temperature will hover around 16–18°C, with high humidity levels nearing 85%, which could assist swing bowlers in the early overs.
Spinners may come into play in the middle overs, especially if the surface dries out under patches of sun. However, dew is unlikely to be a major factor.	Winds from the northwest may affect high catches and aerial shots, making fielding a challenge under lights.
Historically, chasing teams have had the upper hand here, winning 11 of the 19 T20Is played at this venue. Captains winning the toss may prefer to bowl first.	There’s a 45–50% chance of rain during match hours, so DLS could come into play. Ground staff will be on high alert to minimize delays.

Toss Prediction

With overcast skies and a chasing-friendly pitch at Malahide, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first. Seamers could get early movement, and chasing has historically yielded better results here. Expect England to stick to their aggressive template if they win the toss, while Ireland may play it safe.
