England vs Ireland 2020: 2nd ODI - Dream 11, Fantasy Tips, Pitch Report And Playing 11
Updated - 31 Jul 2020, 03:58 PM
After drubbing Ireland in the first ODI, England will continue to add on to their momentum and seal the three-match series in the second match at the Rose Bowl stadium in Southampton. England has made a head-start after international cricket returned to the scene after pandemic not just with their win streak but with the way they are planning to host one team after the another.
The first ODI was a lopsided contest. After Eoin Morgan opted to bowl, the Irish top order fell like a pack of cards, before lower-order batsman Curtis Campher stepped in to play an unbeaten knock of 59 runs. He was helped on with 40 runs knock from Andy McBrine but it could only help the visitors to score 172 runs on board.
The chase did not start well for the Englishmen as they lost their top three within 59 runs. However, Sam Billings (67 not out) and Eoin Morgan (36) stepped up to the occasion to help the side cross the line with 22 overs to spare. The second ODI might also remain more or less the same and it is thus important to plan the fantasy team accordingly.
