Match Details:-
England vs Ireland, 3rd ODI
Ageas Bowl, Southampton
Pitch Report:-
A sporting pitch is on offer at the Rose Bowl with a lot of help available for the bowlers. While the likes of David Willey and Reece Topley got the new ball to move around, the spinners, akin to Saturday, should also be able to extract turn off the surface as the game progresses.
The powerplay overs are going to be crucial with the ball coming on nicely to the bat. Both teams will look to bat first with the pitch likely to get slower in the second innings.
The third and final ODI between England and Ireland takes place on Tuesday at the Ageas Bowl.
Although the English side have the series in their bag, they would eye a clean-sweep over Ireland, who did look threatening with the ball in the previous game. However, for that to happen, Ireland would need their stalwarts Paul Stirling and Kevin O’Brien to fire with the willow.
The visitors will be looking to salvage some pride, but with the form that Adil Rashid and Jonny Bairstow have showcased, Ireland could be in for another tough test.
Yet, with ODI Super League points at stake, one would be naive to completely write the 3rd ODI between England and Ireland off, thereby setting the stage for another competitive contest.
