An upbeat India will take on Ireland in the final T20I of the three-match series at The Village in Dublin. The Indian bowling lineup, spearheaded by skipper Jasprit Bumrah, did a wonderful job in the opening T20I, restricting the hosts to a first innings total of only 139. Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi picked up two wickets each. In reply, India won the match by two runs via the DLS method.
In the second T20I, India posted a total of 185 after choosing to bat first. Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a half century while Sanju Samson chipped in with 40. Rinku Singh, playing his first international series, scored 38 off 21 at a strike rate of 180. Later in the game, Bumrah, Bishnoi and Krishna picked up two wickets each to help defend the target. Ireland opener Andrew Balbirnie scored a knock of 72, but did not get much support from the rest of his teammates as the hosts went on to lose the game by 33 runs, and subsequently, the series as well. They will now look to avoid a whitewash in the third and final game.
In the past, India and Ireland have played seven T20Is, all of which have been won by India.Ahead of the third T20I between Ireland and India, here’s everything you need to know
