Gaikwad (58 off 43), Rinku Singh (38 off 21) and Sanju Samson (40 off 26) starred in India’s series-clinching win over Ireland in the second T20I on Sunday. The Jasprit Bumrah-led side defeated hosts Ireland by 33 runs in the game, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead. India had won the rain-hit first game by two runs (DLS method).
Talking about the second game, India posted 185 for 5 in 20 overs after Ireland skipper Paul Stirling won the toss and opted to bowl first. Barry McCarthy was the pick of the bowlers for Ireland with figures of 2 for 36 in his four overs.
In reply, the hosts were restricted to 152 for 8 despite Andrew Balbirnie’s 72 off 51. The right-handed batter kept Irleand alive in the chase for long but once he fell, India dominated the game. Ravi Bishnoi, Prasidh Krishna and Jasprit Bumrah claimed two wickets apiece.
