“It’s going to be a new wicket for the next ODI, so we’re going to have to have a sit-down and an honest chat,” said Andy Balbirnie, the Ireland Captain, after the two straight losses against England in the first two ODIs of the series. The Irish captain was also devastated by his team’s batting performances, including himself. He said it was entirely on the batsmen for letting his team down.
From England’s point of view, despite the two wins, they have also had their weaker moments in their batting. Losing the top-order cheaply in the first ODI and the collapse of 3 middle-order wickets in a span of 6 balls in the 2nd ODI were not the excellent examples the ODI champions would like to set. Even though the British have already grabbed the 3-matches series 2-0, I doubt both the teams will take the final game lightly as there is always 10 World Cup Super league points to earn.

Team News – ENG vs IRE – 3rd ODI
England
England played Reece Topley in the 2nd ODI after resting Tom Curran from the first. This time, they might rest one or two players and play with the fresh members in the squad Liam Livingstone and/or Liam Dawson in the final ODI. Also, players like Jason Roy, James Vince, and Tom Banton, who haven’t performed well in this series, might get another chance to prove their mettle.
England Probable Playing XI
Roy, Bairstow (WK), Vince/Livingstone, Banton, Billings, Morgan (C), Ali, Topley/Dawson, Rashid, Willey, Saqib
Ireland
For Ireland, their batsmen have let them down, and it’s big-time they should up their batting muscle to support their bowlers. There are a total of 22 Ireland cricketers camping in England, including the current squad. The Irish team will announce the picked 14 for the final ODI anytime, and when they do, we will update it here. Still, here is our probable playing 11 for the game.
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, J Little
Fantasy Prediction
Moeen Ali hasn’t got a single run, a wicket, or a catch, so far in this series. That is why it is best to pick fantasy players based on their role in the game rather than their ability. If England bats first, you can pick him (will be a competitor advantage move), otherwise you can let him stay away. The same goes to English bowlers, if the home team bowls first again, flock your team with their bowlers as 10 Irish wickets are a guarantee.
WicketKeepers
The two in-form batsmen from England are wicket-keepers that make it an easy call as Dream11 allows you to pick upto 3 keepers in your squad. So it’s both Bs: Billings and Bairstow.
Batsmen
No pure Irish batsmen have got you anything to regret leaving them out of your team, and I believe the fact will stay valid for the day. Bank on Irish bowlers and all-rounders, leaving the majority of batting points to the English.
All-rounders
Curtis Campher has been excellent. I lost in one of my Dream11 contest to someone who has kept Campher as his/her captain by just 5 points in the last game. Trust him again for the final ODI, with no other potential all-rounder shots on both sides.
Bowlers
Pick 3 English bowlers, if they bowl first: Rashid, Willey, and Saqib, among the wicket-taking list. Josh Little is the pick of the bowler for Irish from the last game, and his three wickets-burst in the middle of England chase is what a Dream11 player can dream of.
Fantasy Tips
- Pick Moeen Ali, only if England bats first.
- Go with 3 batsmen + 2 bowlers from England, if they bat first, and 3 bowlers + 2 batsmen if they bowl. You have anyways got 2 WK who are their frontline batsmen.
- 4 Ireland picks for the day: Campher, Little, Tector, and McBrine
- Captain pick: Bairstow, with his tremendous form, is a crime to overlook. Campher is another brilliant choice but you should choose them wisely based on the pitch conditions and the rain factor. Here’s how you should choose captain players for your fantasy team.
My Dream11 Team
Wrapping up with stats
- Morgan (646 in 14 innings), Roy (356 in 8 innings), and Bairstow (321 in 5 innings) are among the top ODI runs scorers in this venue, with the captain at the top of the chart.
- Bairstow recently became the fastest to 3000 ODI runs for England alongside Joe Root, who has also reached the milestone in 72 ODI innings.
- 8 300+ scores have been scored in this venue, with England being at the ‘for’ side 3 times and receiving end five times.
- Adil Rashid (13) now has more wickets than the previous record holders David Willey, Graeme Swann and James Anderson: 12.
- This just the third ODI game for Ireland in this venue (1st ODI of this series was their first).
- Out of 20 games, England played in this venue, since its inception in 2003, they have won 13 and lost 7. But they have won the last 7 matches in a row here.
