IRE vs IND Match Preview

The second T20I of Ireland’s three-match T20I series against India begins on Sunday afternoon at the Malahide Cricket Club.

They could have caused more problems for India on Friday if the rain had not arrived.

Topmost Picks for IRE vs IND Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Ireland

• Paul Stirling- the captain made an 11-ball 11 in the opening game of the series. He will want to take more care against the spinners in this game after being bowling by Ravi Bishnoi.
• Craig Young- the 33-year-old right-arm fast-medium bowler got good pace and movement from this pitch in the first T20I. He has 59 wickets in T20Is so far in his career.

Top Picks – India

• Yashasvi Jaiswal- the young left-hander plays with brilliant freedom and an attacking state of mind. When not looking to hit boundaries, he is always looking to rotate the strike.
• Jasprit Bumrah- the right-arm quick bowler delivered a few boundary balls in his return in the opening match of the series but also conceded only 1 run from the 19th over after taking 2 wickets in the first.

IRE vs IND Probable Winners

The first game of the series was very entertaining, and it was a shame that the game was cut short due to the weather, and we were unable to get a great finish. India deserved to win the first game, but Ireland demonstrated that they will not be defeated in this series. We expect another close match, with Ireland taking the lead at times, but we believe India will win. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
