After clinching a 33-run victory in the second T20I, India will look forward to wrapping up the series on a high note. In the second T20I against Ireland in Dublin, India's batsmen had a solid outing, posting a competitive total of 185 runs after being asked to bat. The bowlers then sealed a dominant and series-clinching 33-run victory. The final T20I of the series will be played at The Village, Dublin on 23rd August from 8 pm onwards.
After winning the toss, Ireland chose to bowl and held a slight advantage in the initial stages. India's score progressed from 26/0 to 34/2, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma falling in quick succession to Craig Young and Barry McCarthy. While Sanju Samson fell short of reaching a half-century, Ruturaj Gaikwad didn't falter when approaching a significant milestone. Gaikwad achieved his second T20I fifty by skillfully sweeping White to the boundary.
Then Rinku replicated the performance that had earned him an India call-up, a feat he had accomplished numerous times during IPL 2023. Chasing 186, Ireland lost their top order early in the game. But Andrew Balbirnie kept going (72) with the middle order. Jasprit Bumrah’s wicket-maiden halted Ireland’s effort in the chase. India managed to a 33-run win to seal the series.
With the win, India kept a 100% record against the hosts. They now have 7 wins in 7 T20Is against Ireland.
The 8th loss of the year has put various questions on Ireland’s emergence in international cricket. Their leading run-scorer Paul Stirling has failed to score in both T20Is. His record against India is very poor. 56 runs in 6 games is what he will try to change in the third game. Andrew Balbirnie stole the show with his 72 runs innings in 51 balls. He is the leading run-scorer in the battles between India and Ireland. Balbirnie has 156 runs in 6 matches at a strike rate of 138.05 with two half-centuries. He will be the batter to look out for.
Europe T20 Qualifier’s leading run scorer Lorcan Tucker now has back-to-back ducks in this series. His ineffectiveness has put a lot of pressure on the Irish middle order. The middle order has performed well for Ireland in both games. Curtis Campher and Mark Adair have scored 100 runs in the first two T20Is for Ireland. But losing early wickets is stopping them from playing freely.
Irish bowlers have managed to restrict India below 8 runs per over. Craig Young will lead the bowling unit with Barry McCarthy and Mark Adair. Young has 3 wickets in 5 overs he has bowled so far at an average of 10.33. McCarthy who scored a half-century in the first game has 2 wickets at an economy of 8.33. Adair, who had taken 12 wickets in 6 games of the qualifier has managed to take just 1 wicket.
Key Players: Lorcan Tucker, Mark Adair, Joshua Little.

India might test their bench in the final game as they have already sealed the series. Ruturaj Gaikwad will open the innings with Yashaswi Jaiswal. Gaikwad is the leading run-scorer of the series with 77 runs at a strike rate of 130.50. While Jaiswal has 42 runs in 2 games. Tilak Varma has failed to impress in the series with just 1 run in 2 games. The left-hander who scored 173 runs at a strike rate of 140.65 against West Indies earlier will be the player to watch out for.
Rinku Singh made an impressive debut with 38 runs in 21 balls. His hitting in the final overs helped him earn the Player of the Match award. Sanju Samson will be given another chance behind the wicket after scoring 40 runs in 25 balls in the second game. This means Jitesh Sharma will be kept on the bench. Shahbaz Ahmed might get a chance over Shivam Dube or Washington Sundar. Sundar bowled 5 overs so far without taking a wicket.
Jaspreet Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna have impressed everyone in their comeback series. Both have taken 4 wickets each. While Bumrah’s economy is below 5, Krishna has given 7.62 runs per over. The chances of Avesh Khan or Mukesh Kumar getting picked over Arshdeep Singh are high after the left-handed bowler has taken just 2 wickets in the two games giving 8 runs per over. Ravi Bishnoi will play the spinner’s role after clinching 4 wickets in the two games. Bumrah will be the bowler to look out for.
Key Players: Tilak Verma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Jasprit Bumrah.
Yashaswi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wk), Jasprit Bumrah (C), Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Mukesh Kumar.
The weather will be partly cloudy. The temperature will range between 13 and 21. The wind will be flowing from the west at 10-25 kmh. Malahide Cricket Ground is known for its well-maintained pitches that offer assistance to both batsmen and bowlers. The pitch tends to be relatively flat, which generally favors batsmen who can play their shots freely. However, there might be some movement and assistance for the fast bowlers, especially early in the innings, due to the cool and damp conditions that Dublin often experiences.
The pitch usually becomes better for batting as the match progresses, with spin bowlers also coming into play as the game advances. The lush green outfield and the coastal location of the ground can contribute to swing and seam movement for fast bowlers, particularly during the morning sessions.
The third T20I of the series will be played at The Village, Dublin on 18th August from 8 pm onwards. The venue has a capacity of 15000 spectators and has hosted 28 ODIs & 21 T20Is. In 2018, Ireland have recorded the lowest total on the ground (70) against India.
In 23 T20Is, the results have favored the team chasing the target 14 times. Even the last five games out of seven have been won by the team that opted to bowl first. The average first innings score at the Village is 151. The team winning the toss should bowl first.
India have kept their unbeaten record against Ireland. They have 7 wins in 7 games against Ireland. Jasprit Bumrah’s captaincy has shown many gutsy calls that have helped India keep Ireland under control. Ruturaj Gaikwad is playing some fantastic cricket just before he will be taking the captaincy role in the Asia Cup. Indian bowlers, especially Bumrah and Krishna have shown Ireland who the bosses are.
We predict that India will defeat Ireland.
