The Malahide pitch continues to favour batters with its consistent bounce and short boundaries. A par score of 200+ looks likely, and bowlers will need variations to survive.
The weather in Dublin is expected to remain mostly overcast, with a chance of light rain early on, but conditions should allow for a full match. Dew may aid the chasing team.
Ireland will hope for another strong batting display from Tector, Tucker, and Stirling, while England will rely on the form of Phil Salt and Jos Buttler. Expect another high-scoring thriller, with England in top form and Ireland having to perform against them.
