IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland innings summary

India sealed the series after they won the second match of the three-match T20 international series by 33 runs at The Village ground in Dublin on Sunday, August 20, 2023. 

 

Ireland started their chase positively, scoring 18 runs off the two overs. However, quick wickets were once again a big problem for the. But former skipper Andrew Balbirnie was in a different mood altogether as he stitched important partnerships with Curtis Campher (35 runs) and George Dockrell (52 runs) to take Ireland from 28/3 in 5.2 overs to 115/4 in 15. 

 

However, indecision got Dockrell run out and Balbirnie soon followed him to the dressing room., Mark Adair hit some lusty blows, but with last match half-centurion Barry McCarthy departing cheaply, there was no hope left for an Irish. India's skipper Jasprit Bumrah bowled a wicket-maiden last over to put the last nail in the coffin as Ireland could manage only 152/8 while chasing 186 to win.

After a brilliant over from Arshdeep, Bumrah bowls an even better one to give only four runs and remove last-game hero Barry McCarthy as well. 

 

10:40 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 124/6 after 16 overs

 

After smoking Arshdeep Singh for a six off the previous ball, Andrew Balbirnie, who was looking great with the willow, has been caught by the wicketkeeper slogging at a ball way out of his reach and almost being called a wide. Balbirnie is out for 72 off 51 balls. 

 

10:37 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 115/5 after 15 overs

 

Indecision has cost Ireland a wicket here as Andrew Balbirnie was not sure of the second after initially calling for it and George Dockrell, who was committed to it, just didn’t have the gas to turn back and reach the crease before Sanju Samson removed the bails

 

10:24 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 104/4 after 14 overs

 

10 runs come from the over and Andy Balbirnie has another life as Ruturaj Gaikwad dropped as simple a catch one would get at deep mid-wicket.

10:16 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 77/4 after 11 overs

 

Andrew Balbirnie decided that he is not going to let a part-timer like Shivam Dube settle in and thus he plays very well to get 14 runs from the over with the help of two sixes. 

 

10:06 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 63/4 after 10 overs

 

Wicket!! Ravi Bishnoi has another one as Capmher tried to reverse sweep the leggie, but could only manage to get it as far as the short third man where Shivam Dube hardly even moved to complete the catch. 

 

10:01 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 57/3 after 09 overs

 

Brilliant fielding from Rinku Singh means that Shivam Dube concedes only four runs in the ninth over and pressure mounts on Ireland with each passing ball. 

 

10:00 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 53/3 after 08 overs

 

Fifty is up for Ireland and the two batters- Andy Balbirnie and Curtis Campher are growing in confidence. 

 

9:59 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 42/3 after 07 overs, not exactly like Rinku but hard hitting

9:58 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 31/3 after 06 overs

 

Ravi Bishnoi and the art of picking wickets with googly continues as he got rid of Harry Tector here and Ireland are all of a sudden three down at the end of the powerplay with only 31 runs on the board. 

 

9:56 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 24/2 after 05 overs

 

Once again, just a two-run over, this means that Ireland are going nowhere with the chase. 

 

9:45 PM

Now the scoring rate has once again got down with the fall of two quick wickets and only three runs come from it.

 

9:38 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 19/2 after 03 overs

 

Wicket!! Prasidh Krishna has got the Ireland captain Paul Stirling, who is out for a four-ball duck. Stirling was looking to hit the ball out of the park, but could only get a top edge which was caught by Arshdeep very well.

 

Wicket!! Lorcan Tucker and his failure streak continue. It was on the length too, but the shot was played too early by the Irish keeper and the ball arrived too late, as a result, the edge carried to mid-0n where Shivam Dube and Ruturaj Gaikwad collided with the latter taking the catch easily. Ireland are suddenly two down. 

 

9:33 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 18/0 after 02 overs

 

Ireland are looking optimistic hare, having scored 18 runs in the first two overs of the game. They have had some serious appeals against them by both Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh

 

9:26 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: Ireland 8/0 after 01 over

 

It is hard to play Jasprit Byumrah, but Andy Balbirnie is making it look almost impossible here. He has already been saved by an umpire’s call on an LBW review. However, he gets eight runs from the first over as well.

 

9:18 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 185/5 after 20 overs

 

This has been a great recovery from India as after getting only 14 runs from overs 16-18, they have got 42 in overs 19th and 20th tp push the score to 185/5. It never looked like reaching that far even though Rinku Singh was at the crease. 

 

But once again the man from Uttar Pradesh proved that just like IPL, he means business at the international level too, hitting 38 off just 21 balls. Shivam Dube’s 16-ball 22 was also an important knock. 

 

9:14 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 165/4 after 19 overs, Rinku Singh goes bang-bang

9:13 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 143/4 after 18 overs

 

Only six runs come from the 18th over and as a result, India are still not close to the 150-run mark

 

8:54 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 137/4 after 17 overs

 

The Indian batters here are struggling to get runs as the Irish fast bowlers are bowling decent line and length. Josh Little, who had gone for 43 runs in his first three overs, conceded only five in his last over. 

 

8:46 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 132/4 after 16 overs, Gaikwad out

 

Wicket!! So Ruturaj Gaikwad has departed after hitting his fifty and as a result, India are now four down and Shivam Dube has joined Rinku Singh in the middle. 

 

A brilliant over from Barry McCarthy comes to an end as he gives away only three runs and takes a wicket as well. 

 

8:41 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 129/3 after 15 overs, fifty for Gaikwad

8:39 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 113/3 after 14 overs

 

Rinku Singh has come out to bat in his first-ever international innings and he is currently dealing in singles, having opened his account with one.

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 108/3 after 13 overs

8:36 PM

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 104/2 after 12 overs

 

Craig Young has come in and managed to put some restraint on the big-hitting of Sanju. Compared to the 18-run over, only five from the 12th sounds good for Ireland.
