Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube hit 42 runs off last 12 deliveries before Ireland lose three wickets in powerplay
won by 33 runs.
The improved weather did not improve Ireland’s fortunes as a second defeat in three days to visitors India, this time by a margin of 33 runs, ensured the visitors took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series with Wednesday’s final clash at Malahide still to come. Ireland’s continuing ploy to play five frontline bowlers at the expense of an extra batter threatened to be a winning ploy for the first 18 overs of this contest. Shorter bowling tactics from the likes of Barry McCarthy and Craig Young restricted India to just 143 for four at that point, but a disastrous final 12 deliveries, costing 42 runs from the hands of McCarthy and Mark Adair gave the visitors momentum which they never relinquished, not to mention a winning score of 185 for six.
Rinku Singh, in his first international innings, and Shivam Dube did much of the damage, punishing Ireland’s death bowling brutally whenever attempted yorkers were missed. The passage of play undid the promise of a good start when McCarthy and Young bounced out Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma respectively, before Ben White knocked over Sanju Samson.
