The likes of Sophie Ecclestone, Natalie Sciver, Heather Knight, Sophia Dunkley, Katherine Brunt and others form a very strong core for the team. England will be very confident coming into this game.
Ireland, meanwhile, has quite a few talented players and they need to be at their best if they are to give themselves any chance of winning this match.
