India vs Ireland, Highlights 2nd T20I: India Outclass Ireland By 143 Runs To Win Series 2-0
Highlights, India vs Ireland 2nd T20I: India defeated Ireland by 143 runs to clinch the series 2-0
Team India once again thumped Ireland by a mammoth 143 runs clinching the T20I series 2-0. Spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav once again tormented through the Irish batting line-up picking up 6 for 37 together and bundled out the hosts for 70 in 12.3 overs. Chasing a daunting total of 214, Ireland never seemed to be in the game. Umesh Yadav, in his T20I comeback game, picked up Paul Stirling and William Porterfield in successive overs. Debutant Siddarth Kaul too picked up his first international wicket in form of James Shannon. Post the quick bowling spell, the wrist spin duo of Chahal and Kuldeep took over and picked wickets in quick succession. Irish middle order tumbled like a pack of cards as most batsmen could not even muster double digits scores. Both Kuldeep and Chahal took 3 wickets each, giving away 16 and 21 runs respectively. Skipper Garry Wilson's 15 off 18 balls was the highest score for the Irish team. Earlier, in the first innings, Hardik Pandya 9-ball 32 blitzkrieg towards the end of the inning helped India post a mammoth 213 for 4 in the second T20I at The Village, Dublin. In the final two overs, Pandya clobbered 4 sixes to help India get past 200 for the second time in the series. After winning the toss, Ireland skipper once again out India to bat first. Surprising everyone, KL Rahul came out to open for India with skipper Virat Kohli. Kohli departed early after scoring just 9 runs but Rahul (70) and Suresh Raina (69) looked sublime with the bat sharing a 102-run partnership for the 2nd wicket. Although Rohit Sharma departed for a duck, Pandya stole the show with his terrific hitting towards the end. For Ireland, Kevin O'Brien was the most successful bowler who picked 3 wickets for 40 runs.

19:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live updates of the second T20I between India and Ireland.
Boyd Rankin and Paul Stirling also managed to keep things moderately tight too. As far as the batsmen were concerned, James Shannon, who is not very experienced in international cricket, did well against a strong bowling attack to score a 35-ball 60 with five fours and four sixes. In the end, Ireland fell well short on all counts as Kuldeep Yadav, the Player of the Match, claimed 4 wickets 21 and got India a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. "They played the fast bowlers well, but struggled against the spinners, because they were not using their feet properly. We (he and Yuzvendra Chahal) varied the pace. Maybe they are not used to it," said Yadav. "I did not expect it to spin like it did in the second innings," Yadav said after the game. Now that India have started their much-anticipated tour of the United Kingdom on a bright note, Kohli said that the touring party will experiment with their middle-order batting. The 29-year-old believes that a flexible batting order will help keep India's opponents guessing while they are in Ireland and England.
India can't lose the series now, so the team management has decided to field the players like Dinesh Karthik, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Siddarth Kaul and Umesh Yadav, who missed the first outing. "We're going to give everyone a go in this series. The management and me as captain decided it. There're no mysteries and we're looking everyone to give game time," said Kohli at the post-match ceremony. Another run-fest is on the cards at the warm and sunny Malahide on Friday and Ireland will have an excellent opportunity to notch up a win against a top team, while India would be hoping to make light work of their lower-ranked opposition.
