IRE vs ENG 1st T20I: Where to Watch Ireland vs England, H2H, Playing 11 & Full Match Details

England, led by their young new captain Jacob Bethell, are set to face Paul Stirling’s Ireland in a three-match T20I series starting Wednesday. The first game will be played at The Village in Dublin and begins at 6:00 PM IST.
England have added some fresh faces to the squad for this tour. Wicketkeeper-batter Jordan Cox has been rewarded after an excellent season with the Oval Invincibles in The Hundred, where he scored 367 runs, finished as the top run-scorer, and won the Most Valuable Player award as his team lifted their third straight title. Fast bowler Scott Currie from Hampshire has also earned his first T20I call-up. He comes in for Saqib Mahmood, who misses out on the Ireland series and the upcoming white-ball tour of New Zealand due to a knee injury.
England, meanwhile, are searching for a series win. In the past three months, they drew 2-2 against India in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Tests, lost 2-1 to South Africa in the ODIs, and shared a T20I series with South Africa after the final match was washed out.

Pitch Report – The Village, Dublin
The pitch in Dublin is usually on the slower side, but the short boundaries make batting easier, so we can expect plenty of runs. Bowlers will need to be very accurate with their line and length to get any help from the surface, which mostly favours batters. Because of this, the captain winning the toss is likely to choose bowling first.
