We are all set to begin! Ireland players are out there in the middle. Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan are the openers for India. Mark Adair to start with the ball. Here we go...
So, the wait is over for the loyal Sanju Samson's fans. He is all set to play today and let's hope he makes this opportunity count! A lot of eyes will be on Ravi Bishnoi too as once India get back to the full-strength side, it will be interesting to see if India go with second leg-spinner along with Yuzvendra Chahal. A decent performance here would do wonders for him.
Andy Balbirnie, the skipper of Ireland, says that they would have bowled and he feels that it is good to chase in a T20 game. Tells that they have to do well with the ball to keep India to a low total. Mentions that they would try to match India as best as they can. Informs that it is Craig Young's 50th T20I and they were happy to give him a special cap and adds that they are playing the same team.
Hardik Pandya, the skipper of India, says that they will bat first, the wicket looks alright and the weather is awesome as well. Mentions that the last time they bowled they did not expect the wicket to do much but he credits the bowlers for the way they bowled. Informs that they have three changes, Ruturaj Gaikwad misses out because of a niggle and Sanju Samson replaces him, Harshal Patel in for Avesh Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi comes in for Yuzvendra Chahal.
Ireland (Unchanged Playing XI) - Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie (C), Gareth Delany, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (WK), George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Andy McBrine, Craig Young, Josh Little, Conor Olphert.
India (Playing XI) - Sanju Samson (In place of Ruturaj Gaikwad), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (C), Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Axar Patel, Harshal Patel (In place of Avesh Khan), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi (In place of Yuzvendra Chahal), Umran Malik.
TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Hardik Pandya. India have elected to BAT first.
We witnessed a 12-over per-side game in the first T20I due to rain. Let's hope our not-so-beloved friend stays away this time. The positive news is that the weather does seem better but we can never trust the weather here in Dublin. But let's keep our fingers crossed. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.
