England clinches 2-0 T20 series win over Ireland with Jordan Cox's half-century

England secured a 2-0 series victory over Ireland in their first-ever T20 series, with Jordan Cox playing a pivotal role by scoring his maiden international half-century in the final match. Cox's aggressive 55 runs off 35 balls, including multiple sixes, helped England comfortably chase down Ireland's target of 155 despite losing early wickets. Phil Salt led England to victory in the series opener, while the second match was abandoned due to rain. England's bowling attack, led by Adil Rashid with three wickets, effectively contained Ireland's batting, although debutant Sonny Baker struggled, conceding 52 runs without taking a wicket. Ireland's innings was hampered by a slow pitch and consistent pressure from England's bowlers, preventing their middle order from stabilizing. Tom Banton supported Cox in the chase, remaining unbeaten and helping seal the win with 17 balls to spare.
