ENG vs IRE Dream11 Predictions – T20 World Cup 2022 | 26 Oct

It was a bit of a watchful start for England in the Super 12 stage of the 2022 T20 World Cup as they beat Afghanistan but not before there were a few hiccups in a very low scoring game. Now again, they have a slightly less tough opponent to play against, where you’d expect them to get past and start the tournament with two consecutive victories under their belt. This ground assists the pacers more, so pick your fantasy team accordingly.

Ireland lost to Zimbabwe but beat West Indies and Scotland in the 2022 T20 WC Qualifiers, before losing their first Super 12s game to Sri Lanka. There’s a lot of history and emotion attached to playing England for them, so they’ll bring their best game here after the 9-wicket thrashing they got against Sri Lanka.

England

We don’t expect them to go all guns blazing after the circumspect start we saw from them in the last game, and also the fact that the highest score at the MCG in T20Is is only 184, with even the India-Pak game being a chase of 160 a few nights ago. With scores of 46 and 22 in his two games here, Jos Buttler is someone we expect to get among the runs at the top of the order, so he’s a main pick in our ENG vs IRE fantasy team.

We saw Moeen Ali batting low down at number #7 and not even bowling a single over, so we’ll leave him out of our ENG vs IRE Dream11 team and instead pick Liam Livingstone because of his massive hitting ability in this format (29* in the last game) and because of his ability to get wickets when thrown the ball too. Mark Wood might be rested and with Ben Stokes opening the bowling, we can pick him too. Alex Hales can also be picked as he’s got a great record on Australian soil.

Ireland

23-year old Curtis Campher has one fifty and 2 wickets in his 4 games in Australia so far. He loves the big stage with a hat-trick in the 2021 T20 World Cup in UAE and we think he’s a great pick, maybe even as captain or vice-captain of your side. Gareth Delany hasn’t had much to do with the bat in this tournament so far but he’s been bowling a lot, including getting a 30fer against West Indies, so he’s a dark horse pick as well.

Their leading light with the ball of late has to be Mark Adair who has some o the best T20 variations you’d like to see, so he makes our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) ENG vs IRE fantasy team. With the bat, Paul Stirling has the most experience but there’s the young and talented Harry Tector who has been grabbing all the limelight ever since his fifty against India a few months ago, so don’t leave him out either.
