Indian Cricket Team captain Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to tinker with his combinations for the IND vs IRE 2nd t20. The Men in Blue clinched a two-run win (DLS method) in the first game and will hope to bag the series in Malahide on Sunday. The match is the final chance for players to impress, before the Asia Cup squad is announced.
Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna made successful returns from injury. The Indian captain bagged the Player of the Match award for his 2/24. Prasidh also registered figures of 2/32 on his T20I debut. Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh were also among the wicket-takers.
Probable India Playing XI
- Yashasvi Jaiswal
- Ruturaj Gaikwad
- Tilak Varma
- Sanju Samson
- Shivam Dube
- Rinku Singh
- Washington Sundar
- Ravi Bishnoi
- Jasprit Bumrah
- Prasidh Krishna
- Arshdeep Singh
The rain-marred encounter meant that the batters did not have much time in the middle. Both Gaikwad and Jaiswal looked settled at the top and will hope to build on this in the IND vs IRE 2nd T20. Tilak and Sanju are expected to bat at 3 and 4, as they aim for a final audition before the Asia Cup. The young left-hander recorded a first-ball duck, while rain snatched Sanju’s chance to shine. Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh did not get a bat out, but the former did roll his arm over.
