Cox Hits Comeback Fifty as England Seal 2-0 T20 Series Win in Ireland

Adil Rashid's three wickets underpinned the Dublin decider, culminating in stand‑in captain Jacob Bethell lifting his first trophy.

Overview

  • England chased 155 with 17 balls to spare at Malahide to win the third T20 by six wickets and take the series 2-0 after one washout.
  • Jordan Cox struck 55 off 35 balls on his return, batting after jarring his knee while catching in the field.
  • Adil Rashid claimed 3-29 and was named player of the match, with support from Jamie Overton (2-17) and Liam Dawson (2-9).
  • Ireland posted 154-8 as Gareth Delany top-scored with 48 not out, following earlier contributions from Ross Adair (33) and Harry Tector (28).
  • Rookie seamer Sonny Baker endured another expensive outing with 0-52 from four overs, while Bethell ended the week with his first series win as captain before England’s New Zealand tour next month.
