ENG vs IRE Dream11 Match Prediction Cricket England vs Ireland 3rd ODI 4 August

ENG vs IRE Dream11 Prediction: So, it turned out as it was expected before the series began. The world champions England have taken the series against Ireland with a game to spare. The second ODI was a bit closer than the first one but Ireland could not seize important moments here as well. After electing to bat first, Ireland batsmen were cautious to avoid the similar collapse like the previous match but they went nowhere in the end with their defensive approach. And when wickets started to tumble, they were again five down with not many on the board. Again Curtis Campher and Simi Singh came to some sort of rescue and Ireland put on 212 on the board with the help of some late blows from Andy McBrine.

In reply, Jonny Bairstow started off briskly and he was looking in sublime touch. But hosts lost wickets at the other end regularly. Jonny Bairstow made 82 from just 41 balls but after he got out, England were 137/6 at one stage. Sam Billings and David Willey came to England’s rescue and took England home with an unbeaten partnership of 79 runs. Josh Little was impressive and scalped 3 wickets for Ireland.

Now, the 3^rd and final match of the series will be played at the same venue on Tuesday. England will be looking to continue their winning momentum while Ireland will be playing for pride on the other hand. Remember, 10 crucial points of ODI super league will be at stake and no team will be ready to let that go easily. We will analyze each aspect of the game in our dream 11 fantasy cricket.

He is expected to be out of the action for close to two weeks now. No replacement has been named yet in the squad but Tom Curran will replace him in the playing XI.
• Apart from that change, England can give an opportunity to Liam Livingstone in place of James Vince or Tom Banton. James Vince has not converted his starts in the series while Tom Banton has found it difficult at the number four position.
• Moeen Ali is the crucial link in the English wheels for limited overs formats. He along with Jason Roy will be looking for some touch before going back into the county championship.

Ireland Team News

• Mark Adair has joined the squad in place of George Dockrell and he can make his way into the playing XI. 
• There are some talks about the possible return of senior player William Porterfield in the playing XI. Ireland top-order has struggled to gauge the conditions in both the matches of this series. William Porterfield can help in building steady foundation for the innings with his experience.
• Ireland can give an opportunity to Curtis Campher to bat higher up the order following his string of good performances in the series. Apart from that, Ireland has high expectations on Paul Stirling and Kevin O’Brien to come good at some point in the series.

Captain Picks for Small Leagues

• Jonny Bairstow again reminded everyone about his abilities in the second encounter of the series. His attacking batting style can open up every corner of the ground with no real weakness in his game. He is the safe pick to bet on again with last five scores of 82, 2, 36, 34 and 106.
• David Willey is another safe pick for the small leagues with strong displays leading into the last match of the series. He has taken a total of 7 wickets from the two games and has also contributed with the bat in an innings of 47* to take England over the line in the last game.

For Grand Leagues

• Curtis Campher has been a real find for Ireland from this series. He has contributed with the bat and ball in both the games. After 59 from the 1^st match, he followed it up with an innings of 68 in the next match and also took 2 wickets with the ball.
• Jason Roy is having a very quiet series till now but one can feel that an innings of substance is just around the corner for him. One of the best in terms of attacking batsmanship can be your logical pick for the captain. His last five scores are 0, 24, 21, 32 and 17.
• Adil Rashid is the X-factor of English bowling lineup. Irish batsmen have failed to read Rashid from his hands and the leg-spinner has dominated the proceedings in both the matches. There are high chances that this will continue even in the last match of the series. Adil Rashid has four wickets from the first two games of the series.
• Josh Little has enjoyed good times against England in his limited exposure to the international cricket. After making his debut against England last year, he has taken a total of 7 scalps from just a couple of matches against the world champions. If you are looking for an unorthodox pick, then Josh Little can be your man with a good chance.
