Ireland vs India, 2nd T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

Ireland and India are all set to square off in the second match of the three-match T20I series. The Village in Dublin will be hosting this clash on Friday, August 18.

India, led by Jasprit Bumrah, took a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the opening match on Friday by two runs (DLS). Chasing 140 to win, India lost a couple of wickets and were in danger of going below the DLS par score.

Craig Young got the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma in quick succession. With India at 47/2 in 6.5, rain interrupted play once and for all.

Earlier after being put in to bat first, Ireland scored 139 for the loss of seven wickets. At 59 for the loss of six wickets in 10.3 overs, the home team was well and truly in danger of not playing out 20 overs.

However, Curtis Campher and Barry McCarthy put on 57 runs for the seventh wicket. McCarthy stayed not out on 51 as Ireland finished with 139/7. Bumrah picked up two wickets for India on his comeback from injury.
