England will clash with Ireland in Match 20 of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday in Melbourne. England started off the tournament on a winning note by securing a five-wicket victory against Afghanistan. They restricted the opposition to 112, with Sam Curran being the pick of the bowlers with five scalps. In reply, they were put under pressure, but Liam Livingstone kept his calm to take the team home. Ireland, on the other hand, have been in good momentum. They posted 128 on the board, with Harry Tector and Paul Stirling as the key run-scorers. Then, only Gareth Delany emerged as the only wicket-taker, as Sri Lanka managed to seal the chase with five overs to spare. It will be interesting to see if they can stay alive in the tournament.
