The second ODI between UAE and Ireland will take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, after the authorities recently gave a green signal to continue the series.
After a long halt, the two teams will face off against each other in the four-match ODI series. In the first ODI, Ireland batted first and posted a total of 269/5. Paul Stirling's 148-ball 131 was the top performance with the bat for Ireland.
In response, two UAE batsmen, Chundangapoyil Rizwan and Muhammad Usman notched up centuries which helped guide their team to a 6-wicket win.
