The Indian Cricket Team will take on Ireland in the 2nd T20I match played at Malahide, Dublin on 20th August 2023. It promises to be an exciting encounter with the young Indian team who won on the DLS method and hope for another impressive performance.
India eventually registered 2 run victory via the DLS method in the first T20I match against host Ireland played at Malahide, Dublin. Jasprit Bumrah returned to bowling after a gap of 11 months and proved his worth with 2 wickets in his first over getting rid of Andrew Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker. Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi grabbed 2 wickets each while Arshdeep Singh bowled decently picking the wicket of Curtis Campher.
Yashavi Jaiswal looked impressive with his shots along with Ruturaj Gaikwad. Indian openers put on 46 runs for the opening wicket before Jaiswal and Tilak Varma got out off successive deliveries. India was 2 runs ahead of the DLS method.
On the other hand, Ireland looked in deep trouble with the scoreboard reading 59 for 6. Barry McCarthy and Curtis Campher helped the host recover from a precarious situation and helped the hosts post 139 for 7 in 20 overs. Barry McCarthy scored his maiden T20I fifty.

Pitch Report
The pitch for the first T20I match had lots of seam movement for bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, and Arshdeep Singh grabbed 5 wickets between them. There was a lot of cloud cover that helped the seamers a lot. Craig Young also troubled the Indian batter dismissing Jaiswal and Tilak Varma.
As the ball gets older, the pitch becomes good for batting and makes life tough for the bowlers. The captain that wins the toss would likely bowl first depending upon the conditions.
