IRE vs IND Live Cricket Score

12.1 OUT! Oh yes, it does! What a dolly! Lottery for Ireland! O'Brien lands it on a length around off, Rahul looks to punch it down the ground off the back foot. But all he manages to do is chip it back to the bowler. Kevin accepts the offering and has his hands aloft in triumph. The ball stopped on the batter on this occasion, perhaps landing on one of the naughty areas that Kartik reported while analyzing the pitch earlier. As a result, the batter checked his shot. So, no ton for Rahul today. 128/2

2.4 OUT! The Indian skipper is gone. Chase has the number of Virat Kohli twice in two games. A back of a length ball on the hips. Kohli takes a few steps down the track to hit it over the square leg boundary. The ball keeps rising on him and as a result, the ball goes higher in the air than longer. Dockrell comes running to his right from the square leg boundary, keeps his eyes on it and takes it with both his hands, getting down low. 22/1

17.3 OUT! Kevin O'Brien continues improving his numbers! He had just brought the cover fielder in the circle and pushed mid-wicket to the deep. He then bangs it short. Raina decides to take him on and plays the pull. Finds Dockrell to perfection in the deep on the mid-wicket fence. With this wicket, O'Brien becomes the joint-highest wicket-taker for Ireland in T20Is. 169/4

12.3 OUT! Two in three balls for Kevin O'Brien, the man with the golden arm for Ireland. This is bowled very full outside off, Rohit looks to drive it away from his body. The ball takes the outer half of his blade and goes straight to Stirling at backward point. He makes no mistake and Kevin is up and running. This is Rohit's sixth duck in T20Is. Can Ireland strangle the Indians from here? 128/3

0.2 OUT! Umesh and his bun are up and running in Malahide! Ireland one down for none. It is a length ball outside off, Stirling looks to stand tall and punch it. The ball moves a wee bit and takes the outside edge. It travels to first slip where Suresh Raina takes it with his fingers pointing skywards. Sets off to celebrate with his mates. 0/1

3.4 OUT! That is Siddarth Kaul's maiden T20I wicket. A front foot no ball doesn't deny him that. He bangs it short outside off, Shannon decides to take it on with a pull. But he skies it off the top edge. It goes up and lands in the safe hands of Rahul at covers. However, the front foot needs to be checked and hence it is taken upstairs. Replays find it to be very close, yet it is ruled in favour of the bowler. The reason being, there wasn't anything to prove that he had overstepped completely. Close margins in sport. Meanwhile, James had already walked out. The on-air commentators inform us that the ICC rules have been tweaked to recall the batters in such a scenario. No need for its application today. 22/3

2.4 OUT! Castled! Umesh has the last laugh! The man bun is on a spree here! This is speared full on middle and leg, Porterfield moves inside the line to play the scoop. He misses the ball completely and the next thing, he finds the woodwork shattered. Not the start Ireland would have wanted, with the experienced campaigner back in the side. They need another 198 to get. 16/2

6 OUT! Bamboozled! Chahal tosses this one up in line of the stumps. Balbirnie lunges to block but misses the ball completely. Perhaps he was deceived in flight. The ball goes on to make contact with the middle and off. Yet again, the front foot is checked. Chahal is just fine. 184 needed off 84 for Ireland. 30-4 in the Powerplay, as opposed to India's 57/1. 30/4

8.3 OUT! What an absolute beauty from Yadav. The Irish captain was beaten all ends up. Cracker. Kuldeep loops it over the eye level of the batsman, lands it outside off and makes it spin in from there. Gary looks to play it on the off side but the ball comes in sharply and rattles into the leg stump. Ireland are reeling at 44/7 and it doesn't look too bright for them now. 44/7

6.3 OUT! The Irish procession continues! This time, the bowling hero Kevin O'Brien walks out as soon as he walked in, with a blob against his name. Hardik lands it on a length, Kevin looks to smash it over the on side. Ends up getting the top edge that flies high and towards third man. Kuldeep Yadav has his eyes on the ball and takes it nicely. A dab follows between Pandya and Kohli to celebrate. India well on top here. 32/5

7.2 OUT! And he is gone. Ireland are falling like nine pins. A tossed up delivery on off, Simi moves cross to sweep it fine but misses it. The ball hits his front pad and the umpire raises his finger straightaway. The replays shows that it would have hit his off stump. 36/6

11.5 OUT! The end is nigh for Ireland. A very well flighted delivery that pitches outside off. Thompson comes down the track to smash it down. The ball grips and turns in and sneaks past the blade to clip the leg bail. Ireland are nine down with just 68 on the scoreboard. 68/9

10.1 OUT! Catching practise! Tossed up ball around middle, Dockrell looks to clear Malahide. All he manages to do is clear up the crease for another man to take his place in the middle. He finds Umesh Yadav at long on to perfection. As easy as it gets. The Yadavs and the Indians rejoice. 56/8

12.3 OUT! It's all over for Ireland. A flighted delivery around off, Rankin gives the charge but misses the ball. DK collects it and does the rest. Ireland have been toppled for 70 inside 13 overs. 70/10
