Ireland (Likely): Paul Stirling (c), Ross Adair, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young, Graham Hume, Ben White
England (Likely): Jacob Bethell (c), Philip Salt (wk), Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Scott Currie, Luke Wood, Rehan Ahmed, Jamie Overton
England's rejuvenated team will seek to begin well, and having Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, and Adil Rashid means there is experience in important areas. Ireland, though, have proved to be a difficult home team and will seek to make the most of conditions. This should be an entertaining contest, with England as narrow favourites to begin with.
