The Dublin surface is expected to be a batting paradise right from the initial overs. The captain who won the toss would love to bowl first and put a lot of pressure on the opposition. Any score above 180 would be a daunting task for the chasing side.

IRE vs ENG, T20I Series, Match 1 Winner Prediction

Match Winner: England

These two sides have played only two T20Is against each other, with Ireland winning one, and the other encounter ended in a no-result. Nevertheless, we can expect the Jacob Bethell-led side to put up a dominating show and take a 1-0 lead, especially after his most recent outing against South Africa.
