ENG vs IRE 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After the opening ODI of the series was abandoned without one ball bowled at Headingley on Wednesday, England and Ireland will try again on Saturday in Nottingham. This game takes place with the countdown to the 2023 Cricket World Cup now down to less than 14 days. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at Trent Bridge at 11:00 local time.
With Joe Root now resting ahead of the 2023 Cricket World Cup and Jason Roy opting to turn down the opportunity to play in this series, England will be very inexperienced but still have plenty of talent in their team.
Rain delays and abandonments are nothing new to this Ireland team this summer and they will be raring to go in Nottingham with the chance to go 1-0 up in the series.

Each of the last three ODIs at Trent Bridge have been won by the team batting first and we expect both captains to choose to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this match.

Trent Bridge has always been a venue for big ODI scores over the last decade but there has been more assistance for the bowlers across the last 12 months.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Former Test skipper Joe Root was selected to play in the opening ODI of the series but will now focus on getting ready for the World Cup. In his place, Somerset’s Tom Kohler-Cadmore has come into the squad and could win his first international cap.
ENG Key Players
- Ben Duckett - It has been a remarkable 12 months for the small left-hander who many thought would not be picked at international level again after 2016. He loves getting bat on ball and will attack from his first delivery.
- Will Jacks - The Surrey all-rounder made some good starts with the bat against New Zealand during the T20I series earlier this summer and he will target the short boundaries at this venue.
- Luke Wood - The opening bowler has enjoyed some great nights at Trent Bridge during his time with Trent Rockets in the Men’s Hundred and most pundits see him as England’s strongest bowler in this series.
ENG Team Form
England are in good form in this format of the game but they have a completely new team for this series.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
As a team who have become accustomed to playing in World Cups over the past two decades, it will be hurting the administrators and the players after they did not qualify for this year’s tournament in India. There are no injury worries in the squad.
IRE Key Players
- Paul Stirling - The right-handed opener will enjoy the pace off the wicket at Trent Bridge. Irrespective of where the ball is bowled he will look to attack the English bowlers.
- Harry Tector - Still only in his early 20s, the middle order batter has fast become the most reliable run scorer for his country in this format and will be a key wicket for England to target.
- Josh Little - The fiery left-arm pace bowler is recognised as Ireland’s most talented player in their current generation and he enjoyed his period with the Gujarat Titans earlier this year in the IPL.
IRE Team Form
Ireland come into this ODI with victories from their last three matches in the format.
Ireland Predicted Playing 11
Andy McBrine, Paul Stirling (c), Curtis Campher, Andy Balbirnie, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little

Who will win England vs Ireland 2nd ODI Match?
Ireland will certainly be more confident facing an England side without Joe Root but overall there is more talent in the batting and bowling departments for England.
🏆 England vs Ireland Prediction
With England set to field one of their weakest ODI line-ups for many years, Ireland will think they have a real chance to win the game on Saturday. A lot will depend on how England’s inexperienced batting line-up performs but overall we expect them to have enough quality across the team to get the victory.
