2nd T20I between Ireland and India: Preview and Prediction

The second and final T20I of the current two-match series will be played on Tuesday between India and Ireland. The Village in Dublin will host the game.

Given the difference in talent between the two teams, the men in blue were always heavy favourites to win this series, even if they are playing with what could be considered a “second-string” team.

Hardik Pandya’s team will now try to make it 2-0 after winning the opening game.

The publicity that Ireland is receiving, on the other side, has always been their main takeaway from this series.

Existing form

India will be attempting to win their fourth straight game in the shortest format as they enter this contest after three straight victories, two against South Africa and one against Ireland. Pandya, who had won the toss for the previous game, requested that the Irishmen bat first. Ireland’s top three batsmen were gone after only four overs, giving the visitors a commanding lead with only 22 runs on the board. But Harry Tector then launched an assault. The teenage batsman scored 64 runs off just 33 deliveries, while wicketkeeper-batsman Lorcan Tucker joined him, contributing 18 runs of his own. The total goal set by Andrew Balbirnie’s team was 109 runs.  In the last game, a select few players, like Harry Tector and Craig Young, utilised it to their advantage, and their teammates would attempt to imitate them.

Comparison Record

It should come as no surprise that India boasts a perfect T20I cricket record versus Ireland.

The first match between these two teams was at the 2009 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, and they have since faced off three more times. In each of these four games, the men in blue have been in complete control, giving Ireland little to no chance.
