India defeated Ireland by 2 runs [Twitter]
After rain played spoilsport in the 1st T20I match at The Village, Malahide in Dublin, resulting in India's victory over Ireland by two runs (DLS method), the two teams are set to clash once again in the second game of the ongoing three-match series on Sunday, August 20.
IRE vs IND: Team Previews
Ireland
The opening performance of the Irish team fell short of expectations. While skipper Paul Stirling managed a sloth-paced 11, Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector got out for single-digit scores.
However, their middle-order displayed great reliability in the match. Curtis Campher's quick-fire 39 and Barry McCarthy's flurry of boundaries, including a half-century and an unbeaten 51, highlighted their innings. So, Ireland will be eager to make a stronger comeback with the bat in the 2nd T20I.
Meanwhile, the hosts looked promising with the ball, as Craig Young dismissed India's duo of southpaws, Tilak Varma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, inside seven overs.
India
Jasprit Bumrah was relentless in his comeback game [Twitter]
India's bowling prowess was evident as captain Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna secured two wickets each. Bumrah, making a return, struck early in the innings, while Krishna scalped two wickets with his vicious bowling during the match. Although Arshdeep Singh had a mediocre outing, Ravi Bishnoi was impressive, picking two wickets in his four-over spell.
In the batting department, opener Ruturaj Gaikwad amassed 19 runs, studded with a boundary and a six, while his partner Yashasvi Jaiswal cruised to 24 before being dismissed by Craig Young.
However, promising batter Tilak Varma endured a failure and would be desperate to bounce back in this match.
