Commentary

India sealing the series with a clinical win at Dublin. We finally got to see Rinku Singh bat in Indian colours and boy, he did not disappoint! Plenty of positives to take from this game as India look to make it a clean-sweep on Wednesday. Join us back then for the third and final T20I of the series. Until then, this is the duo of Maanas Upadhyay and Pradeep Somashekar bidding you adieu! Good night!

Jasprit Bumrah (India captain): I'm feeling good so I feel I could run in and bowl good. We wanted to bat first and put runs on the board cause we thought it could get slower and it did get slower. It is sometimes difficult to pick an eleven as all of them are confident and doing well. Good headache to have. Couldn't be happier as a captain. All of us wanted to play for India and had the same dream. I don't really think about expectations and that's the message I give others. If you play with expectations, you are under pressure before the match even begins. You play a sport that is very popular but you need to play with freedom. I am very happy to be back so couldn't ask for anything more.

Paul Stirling (Ireland captain): We felt throughout that we just didn't do enough. Hopefully we can work on that and hopefully get a win in the next. They did really good. They got going and they did well with the ball too. We've got some obvious areas to work on so we will work on them. Come Wednesday, I think we can turn it around and get one win.

Andy Balbirnie: It was a high skilled bowling attack, we had to be our best, felt we were really in the game till I got dismissed and kind of disappointed at the end, got away from us at the back end of the innings and second half in the run chase we did well, we're playing some really good cricket but hopefully we can put on a good show in the next game. It's different, I've been on the other side watching the guys go but that's the game, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and hopefully we can get over the line on Wednesday. Friday was interesting, was so close and and hopefully we can put a good game together.

Rinku Singh is the Player of the Match! Here's what he has to say: Feeling really happy, it's just the second game and the things I did in IPL, try and do the same thing here. Yes, I do, feeling really happy, have been playing for 10 years and the IPL's success has helped and that also helped me get the player of the match in the first game already.

India 185/5 (20) beat Ireland 152/8 (20) by 33 runs

1st Innings:
Ruturaj Gaikwad 58(43) | Sanju Samson 40(26)
Barry McCarthy 2-36(4) | Craig Young 1-29(4)

2nd Innings:
Andrew Balbirnie 72(51) | Mark Adair 23(15)
Jasprit Bumrah 2-15(4) | Prasidh Krishna 2-29(4)

India take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series and it has been a near-perfect game for them. Riding on Gaikwad, Rinku and Sanju Samson's innings, they posted a mammoth 185 runs on a dry surface where batting was difficult. Coming out to bowl, it was Jasprit Bumrah who stole the show once again with his pinpoint accuracy and clever variations, bowling a wicket maiden in the twentieth over.

The Irish innings got off to a good start but that lasted only for a couple of overs as Prasidh Krishna's twin strikes in the third over forced Ireland onto the back-foot. They failed to read Bishnoi's googles again as it was Tector who departed next, resulting in Ireland having lost three wickets inside the powerplay itself.

Campher scratched his way to 18 runs but it was the partnership between Balbirnie and Dockrell that breathed life back into the contest, with the former shifting gears after getting to his half-century. However, the pair departed in back-to-back overs, leaving McCarthy and Adair to do the damage.

Bumrah took care of McCarthy with a slower one but Adair threatened to pull off something special with his lusty blows. However, they did not prove to be enough in the end as they just had far too many runs to chase. Bumrah proving to be the key for India once again and it has been a glorious comeback for him. A comprehensive win for India and they will be mighty pleased with this. Stick around for the presentations!

19.6 Jasprit Bumrah to Josh Little, FOUR BYES! THAT IS THAT! India take the series with a game to go. What a clinical performance from India this as they win by a fair margin. Change of pace, back of a length on the fourth stump. Little looks to heave too early and misses. But Samson fails to collect neatly, races down to fine-leg for four byes.

19.5 Jasprit Bumrah to Josh Little, OH! Searing yorker, right up in the blockhole. Little did really well to dig it out as he jams his bat into it.

Joshua Little, RHB, walks out to the middle

19.4 Jasprit Bumrah to Mark Adair, OUT! HOLES OUT AT DEEP MID-WICKET! Indian skipper gets another wicket. Back of a length on the middle and off, Adair swings across the line but has skied it and Tilak takes a sitter as Adair's impressive innings comes to an end.
Mark Adair c Tilak Varma b Jasprit Bumrah 23 (15b 0x4 3x6)

19.3 Jasprit Bumrah to Mark Adair, clever change of pace, back of a length over leg-stump. Adair too early with a big heave across the line and misses.

19.2 Jasprit Bumrah to Mark Adair, OH! Top effort from Arshdeep, saves a certain boundary with a good dive. Full on the stumps, Adair smashes it straight down the ground and they decide against taking the single.

19.1 Jasprit Bumrah to Mark Adair, yorker length, just outside the off-stump. Adair can't get underneath that as he drilled it to long-on for no run.

He'll close it out himself! Jasprit Bumrah (3-0-15-1) is back into the attack

A good comeback from Prasidh after being taken to the cleaners off the first two deliveries. Ireland need quite an improbable 38 runs off the final over. Will the skipper take the ball for himself or will he try out one of his other bowlers?
