IND vs IRE 2022, 2nd T20I: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
Having clinched the rain-marred first T20I against Ireland by seven wickets, Team India will look to seal the two-match series by winning the second match in Dublin on Tuesday (June 28).
The Indian pacers impressed with the ball in the first game to reduce Ireland to 22 for 3. However, Harry Tector played a brilliant knock to lift the hosts above the 100-run mark in the 12 overs per side contest.
It will be interesting to see how the Indian bowlers tackle Tector as he looked at complete ease in the first T20I. Hardik Pandya went for 26 in his two overs and Avesh Khan for 22. The visitors will look to tighten up things in this department.
In the batting, Ishan Kishan got the team off to a blazing start with some big hits while Deepak Hooda guided the chase with an unbeaten 47. The latter opened the innings, after Ruturaj Gaikwad picked up an injury, and controlled the chase.
After the weather played spoilsport in the first match, both teams will be hoping for the rain to stay away during the second T20I.
