Match: IRE vs IND T20i Match
Time: 28 June, 09:00 PM (IST)
Series: 2nd T20i Match
Venue: The Village – Dublin, Ireland
Info:
Harry Tector top scored for Ireland on Sunday but we are backing the experienced opener, Paul Stirling to be Ireland’s highest run scorer in this IT20. With the ball, Josh Little took 1-39 and he is our tip for Ireland’s top wicket taker on Tuesday.
Ishan Kishan struck 26 runs from 11 balls in the rain-reduced opener. He is in excellent form and is our pick for India’s highest run scorer against Ireland. Yuzvendra Chahal took 1-11 from 3 overs and we expect him to be India’s top wicket taker in this game.
Spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is a world class performer in this format and he was a class above all other bowlers on Sunday. He is our prediction for the Player of The Match Award.

Team News:
IRE Team News:
In a surprise to most pundits, pace bowler Conor Olphert was handed his debut on Sunday. Although he went wicketless, he went at a relatively impressive nine runs per over and it would be a huge surprise if he were to be left out of the team. We predict that Ireland will be unchanged for this match.
IND Team News:
The visitors gave an international debut to pace bowler Umran Malik on Sunday. Although Malik was expensive, with his only over going for 14 runs, we expect him to retain his place for this match. India could be tempted to play another pace bowler in place of a spinner but we expect Axar Patel to be picked again on Tuesday.

Who will win today’s match: IRE vs IND T20i Match Fantasy Team
Although the rain prevented a full game between the sides on Sunday, we were still able to see how even an under-strength India side are light years ahead of Ireland. We expect a full match with Ireland producing some impressive performances but are predicting another convincing Indian victory.
Final Verdict
India are favorites to beat Ireland
IRE Key Players:
Paul Stirling:
Although his innings lasted only five balls on Sunday, the short opener still managed to hit a boundary. He will be looking for a longer game and a longer innings in this match.
Harry Tector:
The number four batter hit his second successive IT20 half-century on Sunday. He struck 64 not out from 33 balls and received rave reviews from the opposition and commentators alike.
Josh Little:
As is his way, the left-arm pace bowler was expensive in the opening IT20 of the series. However, he still picked up a wicket, the prize scalp of India skipper Hardik Pandya.
IND Key Players:
Ishan Kishan:
Ishan Kishan – Although the young opener was outscored by his fellow opener Deepak Hooda on Sunday, we expect him to be back at the top of his game and to produce a big contribution in this match.
Deepak Hooda:
Due to the shortened match, the 27 year old all-rounder was promoted to open the batting in the opening IT20. He responded with 47 not out from only 29 balls.
Yuzvendra Chahal:
The talented spinner picked up the wicket of Lorcan Tucker and caused the Irish batters no end of problems. He delivered seven dot balls in his three over spell.
