Summary
England are in Ireland for a cricket tour for the first time since 2019, a one-off One Day International (ODI) match at The Village, Malahide, which they won by four wickets. Today's match at the same venue marks the beginning of their first-ever bilateral series in the shortest format of the game.
The Three Lions arrive with a depleted squad, and Jacob Bethell is all set to become England's youngest-ever captain. Ireland, on the other hand, are expected to field the strongest possible team in their bid to keep the winning momentum in this matchup.
Despite the disparity in resources and scheduling, the fixture carries weight for both sides: for England, it's a tune-up before the ICC T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, while Ireland have a chance to host a top-tier opponent on home soil.
Ireland vs England, T20I Head-To-Head Record
The two teams have met only twice in T20Is, and Ireland lead England 1-0 in the head-to-head record, surprisingly. Their first meeting in May 2010 was a no-result, after England posted 120/8.
They met for the second time in October 2022, also a World Cup fixture, and Ireland beat England by five runs (DLS method) after setting a 158-run target. England, however, went on to win the title both times.
The second and third matches of the Ireland vs England T20I series are scheduled for Friday and Sunday. All the matches will be played at The Village.
