NEW DELHI: Buoyed by Jasprit Bumrah's impressive return from injury, fancied India will look to seal the 3-match series as they take on Ireland in the second T20I in Dublin on Sunday.
In the rain-marred opener, Bumrah-led bowling attack impressed, restricting Ireland to 139 for seven. Although India were declared winners by two runs via the DLS method, incessant rain denied the middle-order batters an opportunity to prove their worth.
The likes of Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh will hope for a better weather so they get another chance to spend time in the middle.
With India 1-0 ahead, Ireland will hope for a better performance with the bat if they are to level and force the series into the decider.
