India VS Ireland 2nd T20 Cricket Match Live Score


IND 185/5 (20)

IRE 152/8 (20)

India won by 33 runs

PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Rinku Singh

India batted brilliantly to reach 185. Ruturaj, Samson, and Rinku all did well at the plate. Only Balbirnie made a noteworthy contribution in response. But that would never be enough. Bumrah bowled a maiden in the game's last over. Arshdeep took a beating early on, but recovered admirably. Krishna scored first, then Bishnoi added two more. Ireland had a chance after taking two wickets at the top. However, Samson and Ruturaj both performed admirably. India has a 2-0 lead in the series.

 These three games in Ireland were also seen as an opportunity for the other fringe players who are looking to make a case for themselves to get into India's primary team, even though the narrative for the series has largely focused on Jasprit Bumrah's eagerly anticipated comeback and Prasidh Krishna's as well. On Friday, August 18, Bumrah and Prasidh both performed admirably in the inaugural contest. Prasidh also struck in his first over, while Bumrah needed just two balls to get going before taking two wickets in his opening over. As they work to regain their best form after extended absences, both pacers will want to maintain this momentum.

 Ireland must avoid falling down 2-0 with one game remaining, especially when playing a weaker visiting team. After losing half of their side for just 31, they performed really well to reach 139. Barry McCarthy's quickfire fifty startled India, but if Ireland is to compete with the bat, the top order must step up.

 Team Watch

 Ireland

 The hosts would like to continue with the same lineup and give their batsmen another chance against India's pace attack, despite the fact that Ireland does have choices at their disposal.

 Probable XI: Paul Stirling (C), Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker (WK), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young, Joshua Little, Benjamin White

 India

 India's batting order is unlikely to change. If the visitors decide to rotate their bowlers, Avesh Khan or Mukesh Kumar might replace Arshdeep Singh.

Probable XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (WK), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Prasidh Krishna, Ravi Bishnoi, Jasprit Bumrah (C), Arshdeep Singh/Avesh Khan
