United States of America (USA) will face Ireland in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill on Tuesday.

The management will be concerned regarding the performance of the players as they failed to show their dominance over the home team even though they were playing a Test playing nation in the 20-over format for the first time
