The first match between England vs Ireland was played at Headingley; Leeds was abandoned without a single delivery being bowled. Both teams will shift their focus when they face in the second ODI match to be played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on 23rd September. England and Ireland’s toss did not happen as the heavy rains did not relent.
Kohler Cadmore has been named as a replacement for Joe Root in the remaining two matches. Apart from England’s one change, both teams might go with an unchanged squad. It promises to be a high-scoring venue with a lot of attacking mindset.
