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

In response, Deepak Hooda, who was promoted to open the innings alongside Ishan Kishan, played a match-winning knock (47* off 29) that saw India home with 16 balls to spare. Ishan Kishan (26) and skipper Pandya (24) contributed significantly as well. Pacer Umran Malik, who had an indifferent performance on debut (0/14 in 1 over), would aim to bounce back hard and strong in the second match.

Ireland on the other hand, need to find a way to contain the Indian batters. Openers Paul Stirling and skipper Andrew Balbirnie would be keen on doing well in the second match, giving Ireland a chance to clinch a win and draw the series. Tector would once again be Ireland's player to watch out for after his fireworks in the first game. Bhuvneshwar Kumar Breaks Record For Fastest Ball in Cricket?
