Ireland were beaten comprehensively in their opening match at this stage of the tournament, losing by 9 wickets to Sri Lanka. Harry Tector was their top scorer with 45 runs from 42 balls, but a target of just 128 was not enough. Only Gareth Delany took a wicket.
England needed 18.1 overs to reach the target of 113 runs set by Afghanistan. Liam Livingstone managed 29 not out, hitting three fours. However, the stand-out performer was undoubtedly Sam Curran. He became the first-ever English bowler in men’s international T20 cricket to get a 5-wicket haul.
Mark Wood bowled at ferocious speed but is now a fitness doubt. England’s work in the field was also impressive with Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali and skipper Joss Buttler all taking excellent catches.
The Men in Green would dearly love to get a win over their near neighbours. Can they do it, or will Buttler’s side put in another winning performance? Find out by watching the Ireland vs England live stream.

How to watch the Ireland vs England live stream wherever you are
The Ireland vs England live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you’re not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you’re abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab), thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you’d select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sky Sports or another service and watch the T20 contest.

How to watch the Ireland vs England live stream in the UK
The Ireland vs England live stream will be shown live in the U.K. on Sky Sports (opens in new tab) and via the Sky Go app.
If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn’t include Sports, you’ll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. If you don’t have Sky at all, it’ll cost you at least £41/month, depending on which other channels you choose.
Whichever package you go for (opens in new tab), you’ll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.
Sky Glass (opens in new tab) is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £13/month for the TV, plus a sky sub on top of that.
If you don’t want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports (opens in new tab) streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £33.99.
