India vs Ireland 2nd T20I Live Updates: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of IND vs IRE 2nd T20 International live updates.
Hardik Pandya-led team India won the first T20 match of the two T20 International series by defeating hosts Ireland by 7 wickets. Rain played a spoilsport in this match, yet Team India achieved the target of 109 runs given by Ireland in 12 overs with 16 balls to spare.
India and Ireland will play their second T20I today at The Village, in Dublin. Ireland will be looking to salvage a win in-order to avoid a series defeat, whereas India will be looking to solidify their preparation by making sure their progress doesn’t get hindered as England awaits them for a lengthy tour.
India will be hoping for a better performance from their young players and a clear weather. The first match was reduced to 12 overs per side due to rain, which India easily won by seven wickets. Even today the weather is expected to be bad, which can have an effect on this match as well.
With a strong team to be fielded in the T20 series against England next month, this match is an opportunity for the young players to show their potential. Fast bowler Umran would definitely like to capitalize on this opportunity.
