New Delhi. Today, on August 18, the first T20 match between India and Ireland will be played in Dublin city of Ireland. The command of Team India will be in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah. India won the T20 series against Ireland 2-0 last year. The Indian team would like to repeat the same feat once again. However, during this time Team India will also need to be careful with an Irish player.
Actually we are talking about Ireland’s explosive batsman Andrew Balbirnie. Balbirnie is one of Ireland’s most powerful players. Last year, in the second match of the T20 series, Balbirnie had snatched the match from Team India to a large extent. But the bowlers of Team India won the Indian team with their brilliant performance. Team India won the toss and decided to bat first. The team scored 225 runs on the basis of Deepak Hooda’s century and Sanju Samson’s half-century.
Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling came out to chase for Ireland. Paul Stirling scored 40 runs in 18 balls and Balbirnie scored 60 runs in 37 balls. Balbirni had hit 7 sixes and 3 fours in his innings of 60 runs. He alone hit Harshal Patel for 3 sixes. However, he did a great batting for Ireland in that match. He gave his wicket on the third ball of the 11th over. Young bowler Ravi Bishnoi got him caught out by Akshar Patel.
