Irish men are all set to face England in a three-match ODI series between July 30, 2020, and August 04, 2020. The series also kickstarts the inaugural ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, which is a pathway to the ICC CWC 2023.
As per details, each match of this series is worth ten League points, and both sides would love to take an early lead in the CWCSL table.
England haven't lost an ODI series at home since September 2015. Furthermore, their recent ODI form also makes them favourites to win the games against Ireland. Skipper Eoin Morgan will lead a 14-man England side against Ireland.
Unlike England, though, Ireland are not having a good run in this format. They have won just one and lost three of their last six ODI series with two ending in draws.
In their most recent ODI outing, Ireland were plundered by 3-0 by West Indies in January 2020. Skipper Andrew Balbirnie and his 13 mates thus face a daunting task against the buoyant England side.
England's ODI record against Ireland
England holds a convincing edge over Ireland in ODIs, with eight wins in nine completed fixtures. Their only defeat against the Irish came during the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, India. Both the sides have never faced each other at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
