Quick Preview
England arrive with superior form and explosive top-order power (Salt, Buttler) plus multi-phase all-rounders (Curran, Overton). Ireland’s batting revolves around Harry Tector and Paul Stirling, while Tucker and a young seam group (Humphreys, Hume, Adair/Young) bring upside at Malahide. Given the venue’s balanced nature and England’s depth, ENG start favorites, but Ireland’s core has recent fantasy spikes at this ground.

🚨 Notable Misses (Played but not in Dream Team)
J Bethell (48), A Rashid (43), L Dawson (41), G Dockrell (24)
T Banton (23), C Campher (22), R Ahmed (19), L Wood (14), W Jacks (13), C Young (9), B McCarthy (7)
👉 Dream Team was dominated by Salt (183) and Tector (144) as top scorers, with strong support from Tucker (107). Ireland contributed 6 players, England 5 players — a rare balance given ENG’s stronger form.
ENG Powerplay (0–6): Salt & Buttler target 8–9 RPO; high boundary rate.
IRE PP bowlers: Young/McCarthy/Humphreys — wicket potential but can be expensive vs ENG’s intent.Middle (7–15): Rashid vs Ireland’s middle crucial; Delany/Stirling part-time spin could be attacked by Bethell/Buttler.
Death (16–20):
ENG: Curran/Overton with ball; Salt/Buttler/Overton as hitters if chasing.
IRE: Adair/Hume/Humphreys to split overs; Tector/Stirling the hitters.
Captaincy & Differential Picks
MVP (Safe C/VC)
C1: Phil Salt (ENG, WK) — monster ceiling at venue; elite PP intent.
VC1: Sam Curran (ENG, AR) — wickets + finishing runs = consistent double-asset.
Alt VC: Jos Buttler (ENG, WK) — form + matchup vs Irish pace.
Differentials (Grand League)
Harry Tector (IRE, BAT): Recent 144 here; anchors + accelerates.
Adil Rashid (ENG, BOW): Control + wicket threat on balanced pitch.
Matthew Humphreys (IRE, BOW): Role at PP/Death; form from last game.
Jamie Overton (ENG, AR): Cheap wickets + late cameo potential.
Lorcan Tucker (IRE, WK): If IRE bat first, offers volume + catch points.
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Pre-toss)
Balance: ENG heavy with Ireland’s in-form spine; tweak at toss based on batting order.
WK (2): Phil Salt (C), Jos Buttler
BAT (3): Harry Tector, Jamie Bethell, Paul Stirling
AR (2): Sam Curran (VC), Jamie Overton
BOWL (4): Adil Rashid, Matthew Humphreys, Graham Hume, Craig Young (swap Young ↔ Adair if team news suggests Adair’s full AR role)
Bench/Swap watch: Lorcan Tucker (if IRE bat first), Reece Topley/Luke Wood (if ENG pick extra left-arm pace), George Delany (if used early with ball).
Conditional Strategy (adjust at toss)
If England bat first:
Prioritize Salt, Buttler, Bethell, Rashid, Curran.
Keep 3 ENG top-6 + Rashid + one ENG pacer.
Ireland punts: Humphreys/Hume for wicket upside.
If Ireland bat first:
Elevate Tector, Tucker, Stirling; consider Adair.
Keep Rashid (middle overs vs Irish core).
Maintain ENG finisher (Curran/Overton) for chase contributions.
If rain/shortened game:
Tilt to top-order batters and death bowlers; reduce middle-over specialists.
Final Tips
Playing XI not announced — re-check roles (Adair vs Young/McCarthy, ENG’s pace mix).
Venue is balanced: don’t overstack one skill — 3 bat / 3 bowl / 2–3 AR template works best.
Captain Salt in small leagues; in GLs, try C Tector / VC Rashid for leverage.
Watch for England’s chasing bias — if chasing, Curran/Overton’s bowling points + late runs spike.
