India vs Ireland 1st T20I Highlights: Team INDIA beat IRELAND by 2 runs via DLS

India vs Ireland 1st T20I Highlights: Jasprit Bumrah made a strong comeback to international cricket. While the first ball he bowled provided a four, the second brought a wicket.

He then took another ball from the fifth. India bowled six bowlers in the first ten overs and controlled the session. Ireland were reduced to 59/6 until Barry McCarthy and Curtis Campher spearheaded the hosts' comeback.

Campher succumbed for 39 runs off 33 balls after the partnership racked up 57 runs off 44 balls for the seventh wicket. McCarthy kept going, finishing the innings with a six and finishing undefeated on 51 off 33 balls.

Ireland has thus set a target of 140 for India to chase. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad launched India into orbit. While India lost two wickets in the first over following the powerplay, rain crept in and ended the game. India was two runs up by the time the players returned, giving the tourists a 1-0 lead.
