    IRE vs IND 2023, 2nd T20I: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips & Pitch Report | Ireland vs India

    Cricket enthusiasts are in for a thrilling encounter as Ireland and India gear up for the second T20 International (T20I) match at The Village in Dublin on Sunday. The stage is set for a showdown that could potentially shape the outcome of the three-match series.

    After narrowly clinching a victory in the opening T20I, India holds a 1-0 lead in the series. The first match saw the visitors emerge victorious by a mere 2 runs, via Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method. Led by the experienced Jasprit Bumrah, India will be aiming to seal the series with another triumphant performance.

    Meanwhile, the hosts, Ireland, are keenly aware of the stakes. With the series potentially slipping away, the team’s focus is squarely on avoiding defeat in the upcoming fixture. A loss would not only hand India the series but also deprive the hosts of the chance to push for a series-decider in the third T20I.

    India tour of Ireland 2023, 2nd T20I:

    Date and Time: August 20; 03:00 pm local | 02:00 pm GMT | 07:30 am IST
    Venue: The Village Ground, Dublin

    The Village Ground Pitch Report

    The pitch at The Village is known for its fair distribution of assistance to both the batters and the bowlers. A first innings average of 151 indicates that there’s ample opportunity for the batsmen to make their mark on the game. However, it’s the bowlers who have managed to keep the contest intriguing with an average 2nd innings score of 133l. The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, making run-scoring a bit more challenging and the spinners come into play during the latter stages. With 8 matches won by teams batting first and 14 matches won by teams bowling first, it’s clear that setting a target can put pressure on the chasing side.

    Twitter Reactions: UAE stun New Zealand in second T20I for series equalizer

    The second T20I of the ongoing series between New Zealand and the UAE finally got underway, and the UAE stunned the Black Caps by causing an upset over them to level the series. New Zealand came into the game on the back of a win in the first T20I and aimed to clinch the series; however, the UAE had different plans.

    New Zealand came in to bat after losing the toss, and after Chad Bowes’ 21-run knock to open the innings, the side’s top order failed to capitalize. Mark Chapman stabilized the innings for his side, scoring 63 runs in 46 deliveries. Furthermore, James Neesham’s 21-run knock helped the Black Caps score 142 runs in the first innings. 

    Aayan Afzal Khan was the highest wicket-taker in the first innings for the UAE. Taking three wickets and conceding 20 runs in four overs, Afzal Khan made a huge impact for his side. Muhammad Jawadullah took two wickets, with Ali Naseer, Zahoor Khan, and Mohammed Faraazuddin taking one wicket each.

    Excellent run chase propelled UAE to a seven-wicket victory

    New Zealand looked to defend their target and aim for the series win. However, the UAE put forth an excellent performance during the run chase. After Aryansh Sharma’s dismissal for a duck, skipper Muhammad Waseem played a brilliant knock, scoring 55 runs in 29 deliveries. Vriitya Aravind scored 25 runs, with Asif Khan amassing 48* runs in 2 deliveries. 

    The UAE stunned New Zealand and won the game by seven wickets. In the second innings, the Black Caps were unable to make an impact with the ball. Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner, and Kyle Jamieson took one wicket each but conceded too many runs in the process as they succumbed to defeat.

    With the series level, both sides will have all to play for in the third and final T20I of the series, which is scheduled to begin on Sunday, August 20.

    Jasprit Bumrah’s sensational bowling set the tone for India

    The Indian bowling attack, led by skipper Jasprit Bumrah‘s exceptional spell of 2 wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs, made crucial breakthroughs to keep the Irish batters in check. Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, and Ravi Bishnoi also chipped in with wickets to restrict the opposition.

    In response, Team India reached 47/2 inside 7 overs before rain interrupted the proceedings. The visitors displayed a swift start with Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s 24 runs off 23 balls and Ruturaj Gaikwad‘s 19 runs off 16 balls. However, Ireland’s bowler Craig Young turned the tide with a quick double-wicket breakthrough, dismissing both openers.

    As the tension mounted, the game was halted due to unfavorable weather conditions, resulting in India winning by 2 runs according to the DLS method. Bumrah’s all-around brilliance earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match award. His impactful bowling performance, claiming 2 wickets for 24 runs, played a pivotal role in restricting Ireland’s total and guiding India to victory.
