David Willey and Sam Billings returned to the International arena and had an excellent Thursday evening in Southampton that brought up the victory for the England side in the series starter. Now, both Ireland and England are up against each other for the 2nd ODI in a gap of just one day, at the same venue.
From the Irish point of view, there wasn’t any watch-out performance other than debut Curtis Campher’s maiden fifty. They had an excellent 1st half with the ball, where they reduced England 78/4 at one point, but missed a trick to stop the English middle-order.

Team News – ENG vs IRE – 2nd ODI
England
The home side are expected to play the same XI unless the management wants to play Joe Denly in place of James Vince. Vince, in his short innings, was impressive though making his replacement a tough call. On the bowling, the bowlers have built a strong point restraining the young Irish side within 200. The four will likely continue to wrap up the series before it gets to a decider.
England Probable Playing XI
Roy, Bairstow (WK), Vince, Banton, Billings, Morgan (C), Ali, Curran, Rashid, WIlley, Saqib
Ireland
A likely change would be Boyd Rankin or Josh Little replacing the injured Barry McCarthy. Otherwise, this team deserved to fancy another chance in the middle. The young players looked promising at many moments in the Series opener before they let it go. It is the experienced campaigners like Paul Stirling and the skipper Andrew Balbirnie who will have to take control.
Ireland Probable Playing XI
P Stirling, G Delany, A Balbirnie (C), H Tector, K O’Brien, L Tucker (WK), C Campher, S Singh, A McBrine, C Young, B Rankin
Fantasy Prediction
If they decide to play on the same pitch they used in the first game, one could expect to wear down and, therefore, slow down a little. But the compact game time on Thursday might help the curator bring it back in the full piece. So, not banking on that, go with the same attack keeping the first ODI in mind. The Toss will play a significant role as if England bat first, go long for more English batsmen, and settle with English bowlers and All-rounders if they bowl first.
Wicket Keepers:
Billings was in good touch on Thursday, making it a compelling call to pick both WK options from the English side.
Batsmen:
Both Roy and Morgan are unmissable. The real challenge is when you pick one from the middle-order: Vince vs Banton. I would bet on Vince as he played at one-drop and was looking unstoppable. From the Irish side, I expect Stirling to come good, with both Delany and Tector looking to be other good picks. Pick one Irish batter as their All-rounders and bowlers guarantee better returns.
All-Rounders:
Campher was the Irish player of the first game, making him a mandate pick. Moeen Ali had very little to do in the 1st game but looked promising in the short bowling spell he had to bowl. I would like to continue with him here. Other option to look out for is Gareth Delany.
Bowlers:
This is again a tricky spot, with more performers from the previous game are within this section. I am going with four bowlers: Willey, Rashid, McBrine, and Saqib.
Saqib Mahmood bowled brilliantly but with less luck. I expect him to come big this time. Rashid could be a game-changer considering the pitch might get slower than what was expected.
Fantasy Tips
- Toss plays a big role in choosing the composition of the side. Still, go with more bowlers as they guarantee better yield.
- Bairstow is an automatic pick as a Captain for me, with him being a WK too. If you look into the Dream11 points system, you can feel a slight bias towards WKs points as a stumping or a catch gets you the same point when a bowler gets a five-for or a batsman score a century.
- Willey might not get you a five-for again, but he was brilliant with the new ball. Keep him in the team.
My Dream11 Team
Wrapping up with stats
- Morgan (646 in 13 innings), Roy (356 in 7 innings), and Bairstow (239 in 4 innings) are among the top ODI runs scorers in this venue, with the captain at the top of the chart.
- 8 300+ scores have been scored in this venue, with England being at the ‘for’ side 3 times and receiving end five times.
- Graeme Swann and James Anderson have picked the most wickets in this venue in this format: 12.
- Second ODI game for Ireland in this venue (1st ODI of this series was their first).
- Out of 19 games, England played in this venue, since its inception in 2003, they have won 12 and lost 7. But they have won the last 6 matches played here.
