India vs Ireland 2nd T20I Today Match Playing 11, Full Squad: India and Ireland will lock horns in the second T20I at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on Sunday. The Men in Blue are staring at a landmark series defeat after being downed by Lorcan Tucker’s men in the previous match.
Playing their first T20I since winning the T20 World Cup in March, a new captain in Shreyas Iyer failed to kickstart his stint on a high at the same venue on Friday. India’s profligate bowling led them from a position of strength to having to chase a 183-run target.
A top-order batting collapse proved fatal for India as they eventually fell short by 34 runs, marking their first international defeat to Ireland across formats.
India vs Ireland 2nd T20I – Probable Playing XIs
With an indifferent outing where he conceded 57 runs in four overs, including 27 in a single over, India will likely bench Prasidh Krishna and rope in Prince Yadav for a debut. While all anticipation is fixed on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s debut, India are likely to stick with their top-order guns and rather focus on a selection around Washington Sundar, who had a quiet outing in the previous match with bat and ball.
India predicted XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh.
Ireland predicted XI: Tim Tector, Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (c, wk), Ben Calitz, Gareth Delaney, George Dockrell, Matthew Humphreys, Matt Hollard, Liam McCarthy, Jai Moondra.
