Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
David Willey, man of the match in the first ODI, had a very successful return to the England team. His opening burst of 4/20 set the game up for England. Can he bamboozle Ireland with swing and subtle seam movement again? Sam Billings was England’s other main star. Probably only playing because Joe Denly was injured,
Billings produced a superb knock of 67* (54) under pressure to get England home. Curtis Campher (59* and 1/25) had quite the promising debut. The question is: can he back up a fine effort with another on Saturday?
Jonny Bairstow failed with the bat in the opening match. However, his record at the Ageas Bowl remains superb: 239 runs, avg. 79.66, SR: 112.73.
Jason Roy didn’t push on with a start on Thursday, but he still averages over 50 at the Ageas Bowl (eight matches, 356 runs). Eoin Morgan (36*) has the most runs of any player at the Ageas Bowl (646 runs, avg. 80.75). Also,
Morgan has a superb record vs Ireland: 305 runs, avg. 76.25, SR: 91. Paul Stirling (Ireland’s highest ODI run-scorer)
Andy Balbirnie (1,156 runs, avg. 39.86 since 2018) must step up for Ireland this time. Key players.
Harry Tector made a duck on debut. However, don’t write off the 20-year old, as he came into the match on the back of three consecutive List A fifties.
Moeen Ali was steady in the first ODI. However, if he gets a chance with the bat, watch out for his ball-striking. He struck at a SR of 272.22 in the T20I series in South Africa earlier in 2020. It was quite pleasing for England to see Adil Rashid turn the ball both ways in the first ODI. His 1/26 included three maidens, and now has the most wickets of any current player in England-Ireland ODIs (9).
Craig Young showed an ability to nip the new ball around in the opening game (two wickets). Can he find greater support this time around? Watch out for Tom Curran at the backend of an innings, as he continues to develop as a good death bowler with his variations.
This is the prime team for H2H,H3H
