Right then, India have the momentum with them but defending this total is not going to be easy. On the other hand, Paul Stirling will be disheartened with how the final two overs went and now have a daunting total to overhaul. The Irish batters, in their home conditions, will fancy themselves to chase it down. Can they succeed in doing so? We will find out soon. Back in a bit for the chase.

After Paul Stirling won the toss and opted to bowl first, the Irish pacers missed their lines and lengths in the first three overs, allowing India to get going straight away. Craig Young continued where he left off in the first T20I and accounted for Yashasvi Jaiswal before Barry McCarthy got rid of Tilak Varmai. In the middle overs, the Irish bowlers were not that effective but pulled it back after getting rid of Samson and Gaikwad. They did well to dry up the boundaries in the 15-17 over phase. However, in the final two overs, Barry McCarthy and Mark Adair lost the plot, conceding a total of 42 runs.

Wow, we have witnessed a six-hitting masterclass here from Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube! The duo put on an absolute clinic and have helped India finish on a high. For India, as he always does, Yashasvi Jaiswal wasted no time in signalling his intentions and helped them off to a swift start. As was the case in the first T20I, the visitors lost two quick wickets inside the Powerplay. Ruturaj Gaikwad was joined in the middle by Sanju Samson to provide stability to the Indian innings. The duo took their time initially but as they got used to the surface, both batters started to get a move on. Gaikwad grew in confidence as the innings progressed and notched up his first fifty of the tour. After his departure, India’s innings began to lose steam before Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube stepped up and unleashed themselves all around the park.

19.6 overs (1 Run) BYE! Makes it through! Slower and shorter, angling across off, Washington Sundar swings and misses. Shivam Dube is already halfway down the track and Sundar starts to scamper through as well. Lorcan Tucker, the keeper, under-arms the ball back to Mark Adair who does get the direct hit in at his end but the replays show that Sundar had made his ground. India finish with 185/5 on the board!

Washington Sundar walks in now and will face the last ball.

19.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Mark Adair does get his man but the damage has already been done. Bnaged in at a good height and with good pace behind it as well. Rinku Singh looks to take on the pull but gets hurried and the ball flies off the top edge over short fine leg. Craig Young there walks back and settles under it to take the catch. Singh departs after a blistering knock in his maiden T20I inning.

19.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Easy pickings and that is the third six off the over with a couple of more balls still left. Slower one on leg, picked up by Rinku Singh and deposited a long way over the square leg fence for a maximum.

19.3 overs (1 Run) Hard length this time, Shivam Dube mistimes the big shot down to long on and picks up a single.

19.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Oh, what a sweet sound that made off the bat and that is out of here! Pitched up right in the slot, angling into leg, Shivam Dube clears the front leg and smokes it a long way over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

19.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Just a flick of the wrist and Shivam Dube gets in the six-hitting act. Full and angling into the pads, a full toss infact and Dube flicks it over fine leg for a maximum.

Mark Adair (3-0-17-0) will bowl the final over.

18.6 overs (1 Run) In the air but lands safely! Slower one, banged in a bit outside off, Shivam Dube looks to loft it off the back foot but mistimes it high in the air. The ball lands in the vacant point region and they get a single.

18.5 overs (1 Run) Hard length outside off, Rinku Singh loses his shape a bit as he looks for the big heave and mistimes it down to long on for a single.

18.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Carved away! Fuller in length and he offers too much width on this occasion. Rinku Singh throws his bat at it and slices it down to third man for a boundary.

18.1 overs (1 Run) Takes pace off and bowls it around the top of off, Shivam Dube heaves it across to deep mid-wicket for a run.

17.3 overs (0 Run) Slower and a bit into the pitch, angling across. Shivam Dube looks to stand tall and swing it away but mistimes it badly toward the bowler.

17.3 overs (1 Run) Wide! Attempted bumper over middle and leg but this one is a bit too short for the umpire’s liking.

17.2 overs (1 Run) Good length around middle, Rinku Singh opens the bat face and squeezes it away behind point for a quick single. The boundaries have certainly dried up here for India.

15.1 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Barry McCarthy comes back into the attack and picks up his second wicket right away. A good change-up to start with as McCarthy takes pace off the ball and floats it up a bit around off stump. Ruturaj Gaikwad is undone by the lack of pace and is way too early in his lofted shot. The ball just pops up high over mid off where Harry Tector takes a fine catch. Gaikwad departs after a solid knock.
