Ireland vs England 2nd T20I betting tips
- England to win @ 1/7
- Phil Salt to score 50+ & England to win by 5+ wickets @ 7/2
- Ireland to win & Paul Stirling to hit a six @ 9/1
England to win @ 1/7
England will look to wrap up a series win on Friday and once again play aggressive, exciting cricket.
In the first T20I they chased down a high target set by Ireland with relative comfort, thanks to strong opening contributions; Phil Salt in particular played a destructive innings.
England’s batting depth with players like Buttler and Salt, plus supporting batters, gives them a huge advantage. Meanwhile, Ireland are missing key bowlers: Josh Little, Mark Adair, and Fionn Hand are unavailable.
Also, the conditions in Dublin around this time might favour batting—though there may be some green seaming early on or after overnight moisture, the pitch is likely to ease into a decent batting track, which is likely to favour the English given the talent in their ranks.
Phil Salt to score 50+ & England to win by 5+ wickets @ 7/2
Salt is coming into this match in blistering form and is England’s key batting threat.
In the first T20I at Malahide, he smashed 89 off 46 balls, powering England to a chase of 197, with overs to spare. Before that, he made 141 not out in a huge T20 against South Africa last Friday, which was England’s highest-ever individual T20I score.
Given this form, expecting a 50+ is quite reasonable—especially as Ireland’s bowlers have had troubles containing his power‑hitting. In the recent match, Ireland’s attack lacked key seamers.
Conditions at Malahide appear good for batting, with short straight boundaries and a pitch that seems to allow high scoring once batters settle in.
For England to win by 5+ wickets, Salt’s big score would put his side in a strong position early, meaning if they lose a few wickets, then it shouldn’t disrupt their rhythm in their innings. They lost six wickets in the first game of the series and got home with ease, so the 7/2 Irish betting sites are offering is excellent value going into the second match.
Ireland to win & Paul Stirling to hit a six @ 9/1
If Ireland are to win, they’ll need a strong start, and Stirling is key to that. His six-hitting is central to any Irish momentum. He hit 1 six in the last match as he scored 34 and averages a six every 13 balls in T20Is.
He’s likely to go hard in the powerplay again. Even one big over gets you the six, and if that happens, Ireland could be off to a strong start that they need if they want to level the series.
If they bat first, this combo is especially attractive at 9/1.
