India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I: Toss result and playing XIs for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Team India will face Ireland at The Village, Dublin, on Sunday in the second T20I of the three-match series. Having gained the crucial 1-0 lead with a close win in the opening T20I, the Men in Blue will now be keen to seal the series with a match in hand.

The comeback of Jasprit Bumrah was the big talking point from the first match and the pace bowler lived up to all the hype generated. He claimed two wickets in his very first over on return to international cricket and was named Player of the Match for his figures of 2/24.

Another pacer, Prasidh Krishna, who was handed his T20I debut on his international comeback, also impressed, registering figures of 2/32. Young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi also grabbed his opportunity and picked up two wickets, without giving away too many runs.

There isn’t much to talk about the batting as India only got to play 6.5 overs in which they did enough to stay ahead of the DRS target.
