India vs ireland

• Arshdeep: 'Earlier I used to bowl a few loose balls, but now I don't' • Shastri: 'Promise you, Umran Malik will be a handful' • Vengsarkar sees 'very fine allrounder' Hardik Pandya as option for future India captain • India in Ireland: Will Arshdeep and Malik finally get their chance? • Balbirnie hopes Ireland can feed off Malahide crowd against India The kind of talent that's there in the Indian team, the kind of character they've shown, the way they've played, shows the bench strength India have. If unfortunately something happens to someone, there's always a back-up. There's nothing better for the Indian team than having all these options. Till now, people fighting for a spot would knock on the door - as we say in India - but now they're breaking the door down. India stand-in captain Hardik Pandya is pleased with the way things are "I don't know if that [spin] will be the biggest weapon. I hope not because they [India] have some amazing spinners in their team. [Yuzvendra] Chahal has been very successful for India and had a really good IPL campaign" Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie hopes conditions in Malahide won't be too conducive to spin.

Harry Tector (Image Credits: Twitter) With the victory, India now has won all 4 T20Is against Ireland. They are on the verge of being unbeaten in the T20I series for the fifth time. They have won 9 out of 11 T20Is played this year. On the other hand, Ireland has 5 victories and 4 losses in 9 T20Is played this year. It was clearly seen in the 1st T20I that the Ireland team lacks the resistance to fight against the top Test-playing nations. But a 12-over game doesn’t judge your overall performance. Most likely, Ireland will go with the same team for the second T20I. Skipper Andrew Balbirnie will open with Paul Stirling. Both openers failed to score big in the first game. While Andrew Balbirnie got out on a duck, Paul Stirling managed to score just 4 runs. Andrew Balbirnie has a strike rate of 140-plus at this ground. Batting all-rounder Gareth Delany will need to step up at the third place. He has an experience of 38 T20I games with 702 runs at a strike rate of 135.26. Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie[photo: AFP]Harry Tector was the only Irish batter that outperformed the Indian bowling unit. Harry Tector played an unbeaten knock of 64 runs in 33 balls that included 6 fours and 3 sixes. This was his second consecutive half-century score. Harry Tector has scored 174 runs in his last 4 T20Is. Wicket-keeper batter Lorcan Tucker scored 18 runs in 16 balls in the 1st game. He will be in the playing 11 as Ireland doesn’t have an option for him on the bench. Ireland can try uncap...

They'll be a few Irish cricketers scratching their heads tonight, wondering what could have been in Dublin today. A performance though that will spur encouragement ahead of a busy summer for Graham Ford's side. New Zealand are the next side to grace the greens of Malahide next month. We'll have a report of today's match to follow shortly but for now, it's goodbye! Umran, despite a no-ball, bowls excellent line and length to ensure Ireland just fail to reach their target. Adair needed a six for victory from the final ball but missed out as Ireland fall agonisingly short of a first win over India. The record 176-run partnership between Samson and Hooda proved crucial as India win the series 2-0.
