Jordan Cox Powers England to 2-0 T20 Series Win Over Ireland in Dublin

England secured a 2-0 T20 series victory over Ireland with a commanding six-wicket win in the third match at Malahide. Jordan Cox, returning to international cricket after over a year, played a pivotal role by scoring a rapid 55 off 35 balls despite a knee injury, helping England chase down Ireland's total of 154-8. Cox's performance followed his top scorer and player of the series accolades in The Hundred tournament, and his innings included powerful hitting with four sixes and four fours. Ireland's innings featured strong starts from Ross Adair and Harry Tector, but they were hindered by England's effective spin bowling from Adil Rashid and Liam Dawson, and the pace of Jamie Overton. England's chase faced early setbacks with the dismissals of Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell, but partnerships between Cox and Phil Salt, and later Tom Banton, ensured a comfortable victory. The series also marked a milestone for 21-year-old Jacob Bethell, who became England's youngest-ever captain to win a trophy in any format.
