Hardik Pandya got off to a flying start as India captain with his side putting in a dominant effort to defeat Ireland in the first T20I. India would now look to clinch a series sweep.
India, after having won the first match, would now look to close out their sojourn of Ireland with a win in the second T20I as well, scheduled to be played on Tuesday, June 28. The match would once again be played at the Malahide Cricket Club and it is scheduled to start at 9:00 pm IST (Indian Standard Time). Hardik Pandya's India were easily the more dominant outfit in the first T20I, which was shortened to 12 overs due to a spell of rain at the start of the game. The bowlers were on song as they picked up wickets with the new ball. Barring an onslaught from Harry Tector (64* off 33), who was heavily responsible for Ireland getting to 108/4 in their 12 overs, the Indian bowlers were able to keep other batters in check. Among the most impressive ones were Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/16) and Yuzvendra Chahal (1/11). India vs Ireland, 1st T20I 2022: Skipper Hardik Pandya Backs Debutant Umran Malik
