At Lord’s, England will face Ireland. On Thursday, June 1, 2023, at 11:00 local time, this Test match begins. This Test has been scheduled to give England some high-level practice in this format before a five-match Ashes series. Josh Tongue will make his Test debut, and Jimmy Anderson and Ollie Robinson will both miss this game to avoid aggravating minor injuries.
Since Ben Stokes took over as captain, England have won 10 of their last 12 Test matches, including their most recent one-run defeat. In 2019, the visitors go back to the location of their previous Test match against England. Ireland experienced many high points throughout that match, but they were ultimately defeated by 143 runs on day three after being run out for 38 in their second innings.
Even though this will be Ireland’s seventh Test, they are still looking for their first victory in this format after losing all six of their previous contests.
Match details :
- Match: ENG vs IRE, Only Test
- Date & Time: June 1, 3:30 PM IST
- Venue: Lor’s, London.
Prediction :
Because England did not select Chris Woakes or Mark Wood, their inexperienced bowling attack puts even more pressure on their batters to score runs. Four years ago, Ireland’s precise medium-fast bowling caused problems for the hosts, and they might do so again this time. However, we expect England to win the Test, as they should be too strong overall.
England to prevail over Ireland.
Weather Report :
It is anticipated that the temperature on the day of the match will be around 23°C, with a humidity of 68% and a wind speed of 11 km/hr. There are 65% conceivable outcomes of precipitation during the game.
Pitch report :
Lord’s is where this one-off Test Match will take place. Over the course of the four days of the game, pace and seam bowlers with little spin will benefit from the slope.
Fantasy tips :
- Joe Root midpoints north of 50 in Tests at Ruler’s and he is our tip for Britain’s most elevated run scorer in this match.
- As England’s top wicket-taker against Ireland, Stuart Broad is well worth backing because he has taken over 100 Test wickets here.
- Paul Stirling has a lot of experience playing in English conditions and scored a century against Sri Lanka in April. He is our pick for Ireland’s most elevated run scorer in this game.
