Here are the Highlights of 1st T20I match between Ireland and India, straight from The Village, Dublin:
- 21:30 (IST)IND vs IRE Live: Poor review!1.5 - Ireland lose one of their reviews. A delivery of Josh Little hit the thigh pad of Yashasvi Jaiswal and wicketkeeper Lorcan Tucker caught the ball behind the stumps. Umpire was unconvinced with the appeal of caught behind from Ireland players. As a result, Paul Stirling went upstairs before replays revealed that the ball brushed the thigh pad of Jaiswal.
- 20:53 (IST)IND vs IRE Live: Barry McCarthy gains momentumAfter Curtis Campher, Barry McCarthy also changes gear and starts dealing in boundaries. In the previous over of Prasidh Krishna, the batter smashes two boundaries and a six as the pacer leaks 15 runs. Ireland now aim to continue the momentum in the remaining three overs.
- 20:46 (IST)IND vs IRE Live: Campher changes gearAfter losing wickets in a quick succession, Ireland finally get momentum as Curtis Campher changes gear. In the previous over of Washington Sundar, he smashes a boundary and in the over of Jasprit Bumrah, he smashes a huge six. Ireland hope for a decent total in the remaining overs.
- 20:41 (IST)IND vs IRE Live: Bumrah almost collides with BishnoiFOUR!!! Curtis Campher smashes it hard on Washington Sundar's delivery as the ball goes up in the air. Jasprit Bumrah runs to take the catch but the ball drops down and races towards the boundary. In desperation of stopping it, Bumrah runs towards the rope but spinner Ravi Bishnoi comes sliding from other end and the two players almost collided. Luckily, the accident was prevented but the ball goes for a four.
- 20:27 (IST)IND vs IRE Live: OUTOUT!!! Ravi Bishnoi strikes again and this time Mark Adair becomes his prey as he gets dismissed for 16. Bishnoi hits on the pads of Adair but the on-field umpire signals not out. The decision goes to the third umpire, who then declares it as Out. Sixth wicket gone for Ireland.
