On August 20, Ireland (IRE) and India (IND) will face off in the second Twenty20 International match of the India Tour of Ireland at Malahide in Dublin. India won the opening game of the series, albeit not with the level of dominance they would have desired because they were unable to even finish the game owing to weather delays.
The previous match between these sides took place at the same location, with India winning the toss and choosing to field. Ireland’s first stand only lasted for four runs, thus they got off to a bad start. The Irish squad appeared to be in trouble after the second wicket was lost with the same score.
The inning saw a second mini-collapse after losing three wickets in as many runs. Ireland was able to score a respectable total of 139 runs thanks to a fantastic knock by Barry McCarthy lower down the order, which helped the team.
The India team got off to a strong start after being given a respectable target to chase, as their opening partnership lasted for 46 runs in just six overs. The in-form batsman Tilak Varma went out on the first pitch of his innings, as India lost two wickets in short succession. When the rain stopped the game, India appeared to be in a somewhat uncomfortable situation.
