When will the Ireland vs England 2nd T20I be played?

The 2nd T20I between Ireland and England will be played on 19 September in Dublin.

England chased down their target of 197 with 14 balls remaining on Wednesday and once again they have opener Phil Salt to thank for producing a brilliant display of hitting at the top of the order. Salt struck 10 fours and 4 sixes in his 89 runs from 46 balls but actually played second-fiddle at the start of the innings with former skipper, keeper-batter Jos Buttler hitting 28 runs from only ten balls.

On the other hand, Ireland were on the receiving end of the result in Malahide on Wednesday, they can be proud of their performance and will bring two half-centurions from that match into Friday's contest. It was an impressive batting display, aided by some poor bowling from the visitors, with Ireland posting 196/3 although with the benefit of hindsight, the hosts would probably have wanted an additional 20-25 runs
