Paul Stirling looks in sublime nick with an unbeaten 66 against West Indies and 34 from 25 balls as his team’s second-best scorer behind Harry Tector’s 45 against Sri Lanka, and Ireland will hope that the pair turns up against England.
The two sides have only locked horns once in T20Is, when their match at the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 in Guyana was washed out in the fourth over of Ireland’s chase with eventual champions England endeavouring to defend a small 120 for 8 and avoid crashing out in the first round itself.
‘Both teams are fit and raring to go’ 💪
Who will come out on top when neighbours Ireland and England meet at the MCG❓#IREvENG #T20WorldCuphttps://t.co/fZyiw2hOwc
