00:10Well, India must be smarting after the loss in the first T20i
00:14and the world champions are on their road to redemption
00:16as they take on Ireland in the second T20i, live from Belfast today.
00:22There was a W once again for Shreya Sayar, the new captain of India
00:25as he won the toss once more and made the same decision.
00:28They elected to field first.
00:30It's an unchanged 11 for Ireland and why would you want to change anything
00:34when it was so successful?
00:36No changes in the batting order, so you won't see a certain 15-year-old make his debut
00:40but there are two debutantes in the form of Suryan Sherge and Prince Yadav.
00:45They'll be taking the place of Washington Sundar and Prasid Krishna.
00:49Yeah, Tim Tector, a good striker, a very healthy striker of 146 average.
00:54That's something that he might need to work on a little bit.
00:56Shade below 20.
00:58Partner, Ross Adair, who's been a little bit quiet of late
01:02but former professional rugby player, Deep, he can really strike a clean blow.
01:08Arsdeep Singh, left arm, bowled nicely a couple of days ago, picked up two for 28.
01:19Tector's up and running.
01:20I'm a little surprised, Deep, that Arsdeep has chosen to bowl this end
01:23just because of the breeze generally was blowing towards the pavilion.
01:28So bowling from the far end would have shaped it back to that right-hander.
01:33Win!
01:35I think this is a big game, Deep, for Ross Adair.
01:39He's had a quiet start of the season domestically.
01:47Not there, Deep.
01:49Not going to play a role there.
01:56Now what a start for Ross Adair.
01:59His first scoring shot, a maximum.
02:04Down the ground again.
02:06What a lusty blow that is from Ross Adair.
02:09Don't bother moving around the crease, Adair.
02:12Stand still and pump it long.
02:14First over, done and dusted.
02:19Lovely shots.
02:21Very good from Tim Tector because he gave himself just a little bit of room
02:24and it forced Harsher to do something different
02:27and Tector punished him.
02:32Now then, that should be taken.
02:34That is soft.
02:35That is really soft.
02:37He went deep in his crease.
02:38Tim Tector, Harsher ran and learning, dragging his length back.
02:42Oh, I've lost one.
02:45Tim Tector goes for five.
02:47Ireland lose their first on 17.
02:52Now that has gone a long, long way up in the air.
02:56Oh, what's happening here?
02:58What is happening here?
02:59They've made an absolute mess of it.
03:01Harshit Rana, Ishan Kishan.
03:04Yours, mine, yours, four.
03:09Up and over the offside.
03:10No timing.
03:11A reprieve.
03:14Chilak Varma.
03:15And look at the celebration.
03:16Look at the emotion.
03:19Harshit Singh into the wicket column now.
03:21And India know what that means.
03:24Nile, and an important one.
03:26Was looking dangerous.
03:28Ross Adair.
03:29It's gone back 16 off 7.
03:3121 for two Ireland.
03:36Pulled away.
03:37Not quite out of the screws, but may well just trickle into the ropes.
03:41It does indeed.
03:45It's beautifully cut away.
03:47That'll race to the boundary.
03:49That's Harry Tector.
03:50Prime Harry Tector.
03:52Now, debutant Prince Yarov, who turned 30 earlier this month.
03:57Right arm fast bowler.
03:5813 wickets in his first seven IPL matches this season.
04:03On debut.
04:10And that'll settle the nerves, Kevin O'Brien.
04:14Good.
04:15Use of the feet.
04:16This time it's looked away square, and that'll be all the way for four.
04:24Oh, that's a brilliant response from Prince Yarov.
04:27The foot movement was there.
04:28There was that little trigger movement from Law Kentucky.
04:30I get to perhaps see him try to trick the bowler into dropping it short,
04:33but Prince Yarov responded superbly.
04:36Firm, but great fielding.
04:38Prince Yarov.
04:40There's some fire in this contest.
04:42Genuine fire.
04:44The Prince wanting to prove he's king.
04:50Nick's gone.
04:51Lorcan Tucker walks.
04:52Ishan Kishan.
04:55Takes the catch.
04:56And a first T20 international wicket for Prince Yarov.
04:59It's the opposition captain.
05:01Ishan Kishan takes the catch.
05:04Third wicket falls.
05:05Ireland 48 for three.
05:09Happish.
05:10And that could very well have been gone.
05:14Harry Tector earns a reprieve.
05:17And Prince Yarov puts down a chance to claim his second wicket in the Oba.
05:23Surianch.
05:24Shedgate into the attack on T20 debut.
05:30Blank ball.
05:31Hoyt leg side.
05:32Has it got enough?
05:33Just about enough.
05:34Just about enough.
05:36The sweeper was interested.
05:40Splash down the ground.
05:42This is more likely for Ireland.
05:44They needed this over.
05:47And no ball will do quite nicely.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Big, big moment.
05:54Down the ground.
05:56Arch deep.
05:57Oh, that's poor.
05:58That is poor fielding.
06:00Right in front of the commentary box.
06:02Should have caught it.
06:04Well, full toss.
06:05A low one.
06:06But Harry Tector gets a good bit of bat on this.
06:09Did he just jump a little bit too soon?
06:14Oh, lucky.
06:16The top edge over Ishan Kishan's head.
06:19Will take that boundary gladly.
06:23Hasn't timed it.
06:24But Mirov's inside the circle.
06:26This is good batting.
06:27This is very good batting.
06:29Flat batted it for another boundary.
06:32Shivam Dubey.
06:33That's way up.
06:35Way up.
06:36And long enough.
06:38Yes, it is.
06:42All you can do as a fielder is just watch it sail over your head.
06:46Starts the over with a six.
06:53That should be a wicket.
06:54Yes.
06:55The partnership is broken.
06:57The wicket that India needed of Ben Khaled, who's looking very dangerous.
07:02He's played a really good hand here.
07:04But he's got to walk back.
07:07He's batted nicely.
07:0837 off 23.
07:10Ireland 113 for four.
07:14Gone.
07:15First bowler.
07:18Change of momentum that India needed.
07:20Two and two for Shivam Dubey.
07:23Two and two for India.
07:24And they're back into it.
07:26Just nipping back off the seam.
07:29And top of the stumps.
07:30Perfect delivery to the new man.
07:32Garrett Delaney walks back.
07:34First ball.
07:35Ireland 113 for five.
07:38Shivam Dubey on hat-trick here.
07:43Steps out.
07:43Hits it.
07:44In the air.
07:45But straight to D-point.
07:49Event full over.
07:54Very tech turn.
07:55It's just over the fielder.
07:57Archdeep Singh.
07:58It'll race away for four.
08:02Pressure is a privilege.
08:04Smashed down the ground to end 17.
08:06Ireland 131 for five.
08:12Smashed straight down the ground.
08:15George Dockrell goes big.
08:19Footwork again.
08:21Cut away.
08:21There's a fielder there.
08:22And it's comfortably pouched.
08:24Dockrell falls for 19.
08:25It's very well played.
08:26Archdeep Singh takes another wicket.
08:29Sucks up Patel with a fine catch.
08:32It's a handy little knock from George Dockrell.
08:3419 from 14.
08:35Ireland 144.
08:36Four for six.
08:39That's cut away.
08:41A little gap.
08:42And that's a 50 for Harry Tector.
08:44His first in eight innings in T20 Internationals.
08:49Harry Tector.
08:49But it's his ninth 50 overall.
08:53Straight up.
08:56Kishan Kishan makes the call.
08:58And then has to make a dive to secure it.
09:00But does so.
09:01Harry Tector goes for 53.
09:04With just two balls remaining.
09:06Ireland 153 for seven.
09:09Harry Tector goes for a well-made 53.
09:11Ireland 153 for seven.
09:42Slower ball again straight up.
09:43Running.
09:44He almost didn't hit the ball.
09:45No mayo on it.
09:46This time for Ishan Kishan.
09:49But two in the over.
09:50It's been a brilliant final one from Prince Yadav.
09:53And well-deserved return for him.
09:56154 for eight is what Ireland have scored in their batting innings.
10:00Courtesy a half century by Harry Tector on his hundredth cap.
10:03And Ben Callitz, of course, giving him some support.
10:0637 to his name.
10:08Most impressive showing was from the debutant.
10:11Prince Yadav, especially in that last over, taking two wickets.
10:14He got a threefer for 22.
10:16And Shivam Dubey also getting a couple along with Arshadip Singh.
10:19Well, only twice have scores past 150 been chased here in Belfast.
10:25Will that happen today as well?
10:26As India need to score 155 at the rate of 7.75.
10:33Yep, the Indian openers.
10:37Caught a few runs in the first game.
10:40Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Sampson.
10:43He missed out.
10:45He's a lot more comfortable chasing down this total of 155, these two openers.
10:52India need 155.
10:54Sanju Sampson on strike.
10:58Kind of bowling against the wind here a little, Jemundra.
11:01With a slip in place.
11:05Oh, swing, swing.
11:06It's a first baller again.
11:09Would you believe it?
11:11Jemundra, first ball to Sanju Sampson, who's taken the DRS.
11:17Ball tracking coming up.
11:19Pitching in line.
11:20Impact in line.
11:22Wickets heading.
11:24He's gone, Sanju Sampson.
11:26First baller.
11:27India are rocked early.
11:29None for one.
11:31Ishan Kishan.
11:32A new batter.
11:34Two southpaws now out in the middle.
11:40First runs for India.
11:48Oh, that should be another wicket.
11:51That's gone way up in the air.
11:53And he's taken a blind up.
11:55Miss Jashid.
11:58Another wicket for Jemundra.
12:00Another wicket for Ireland.
12:03Matt Hallard.
12:05The man the match from game one.
12:07That's gone so high.
12:09As you said, they maybe overran it.
12:11That's a phenomenal catch.
12:13To get rid of Abhishek Sharma.
12:14First ball.
12:16India.
12:17One for two.
12:21That should be four.
12:24A little too full.
12:25And he punishes.
12:27Shresa, you're off the mark.
12:31That's another four.
12:33Lil Mouroum outside of Stump.
12:35He loves that area, Ishan Kishan.
12:41That's nicely placed.
12:42Carved it behind point for another boundary.
12:45Carboucher say a will do if you give him enough room.
12:50That's it.
12:51Inside edge.
12:52That's another wicket.
12:54That is Jemundra's third.
12:56And he's got the Indian skipper.
12:58Who looks shocked.
13:00This is brilliant from Jemundra.
13:02Brilliant for Ireland.
13:03Shresa are gone for 10.
13:06India 19 for three.
13:11Tucked away nicely.
13:12Lovely, lovely bit of timing.
13:14Any left-hander worth their salt will just milk that all day long.
13:18Isabel Joyce.
13:21A little bit of shape.
13:22Good timing.
13:23He just had to withdraw his front leg to get access to the ball.
13:28Lovely, lovely bit of balance from Tillak Varma.
13:33Well, in the air.
13:35Chance for the bowlers' end.
13:36Chance for the hit.
13:37Gone!
13:38Wonderful work!
13:40Rossiter!
13:41The left-hander from Hollywood Belfast strikes!
13:45And what was brilliant here was he set himself.
13:48Took a split second and said,
13:50Right, I've got a hit right at the top of the stumps.
13:52If he was a bowler, he'd be delighted.
13:55Kishin goes for 12.
13:57Indian trouble.
13:5835 for four.
14:06Jai Mundra, he is a bit of a live wire in the field, but had to move sideways, so easy
14:12to.
14:18Great stop.
14:19Wonderful work.
14:20Liam McCarthy, that's outstanding from the fast bowler.
14:24Hovering an extra cover.
14:30Well, put down.
14:33Run out chance.
14:34Kept alive, but disappointingly.
14:37Rossiter, from an honourable perspective, unable to hit the stumps this time,
14:40but second fast bowler to get an opportunity off his own bowling,
14:44but so difficult on the follow-through as Prince Yarov dropped in the Ireland innings.
14:48This time, it's fortune for Akshar Patel.
14:55Taken beautifully by Lorcan Tucker,
14:57and this partnership broken.
14:59Akshar Patel falls for a slower than a runnable 14.
15:02Hollard back into the attacking as his first wicket today.
15:05Player of the match from two days ago,
15:07and it's a rough wicket.
15:09Partnership broken.
15:11Akshar Patel goes for 14.
15:12India, 74 for five.
15:17Well, I think we've been given our answer.
15:19Smash down the ground.
15:20Oh, no.
15:21No, no, no.
15:23Not good.
15:27Liam McCarthy, short and wide and carved up and over short third.
15:32Field did not match the ball.
15:36Down the ground.
15:38One bounce, four.
15:40Game on here, Stormont.
15:44Darted in, lifted high.
15:46There's a fielder waiting.
15:47Matt Humphreys secures the wicket of Shimon Dube.
15:50Beautifully taken by George Dockrell,
15:52and that might be the moment.
15:54This is good bowling again.
15:56Good use and good knowledge of the dimensions.
16:00Dube gone for 20 of 16.
16:02India, 109 for six.
16:05Suryan Shedget, a chance to impress on debut.
16:10Hit hard for his first runs.
16:13Straight to Tim Techtia.
16:15You can run off the over so far through three deliveries.
16:21Looking for a big one,
16:23and the first six of the India innings.
16:26A spinny super six from Tilak Varma,
16:29who goes to 50 spectacularly.
16:31It's 7.50 in T20 Internationals.
16:38Wide air, straight out.
16:40The chance for a second wicket for Holland,
16:42and to dismiss the very dangerous Tilak Varma,
16:44taken by Liam McCarthy.
16:47A seventh Indian wicket falls.
16:50Ireland will feel they're within reach now
16:53of a series victory
16:54over the two-time and reigning world champions.
16:58Good innings of 55 or 46.
17:01He's got to go back 117 for seven, India.
17:05Hachit Rana high.
17:07There's a fielder gathering underneath it again.
17:11And Shedget.
17:13Suryan Shedget is out.
17:16Tim Techtia takes the catch.
17:19Just using the dimension.
17:21That is the longest part of the ground.
17:23The deep mid-wicket area.
17:26Had a fielder place there.
17:28He's got to go for one or five.
17:29One, two, one for eight, India.
17:31In trouble.
17:34Well, power.
17:35Serious power there.
17:36From Hachit Rana.
17:37He's not giving up.
17:41Heaved leg side.
17:42Well, a four followed by a six.
17:45As soon as it left the bat,
17:46you knew it was going all the way.
17:52But he's done his job.
17:54Two off the first ball.
17:57Importantly,
17:58it's Hachit on strike.
18:02And it's a no ball.
18:03How costly is this going to be?
18:05Well, George Dockroll
18:06has it in the deep,
18:07but they're going to run a second.
18:09Great running.
18:10Brilliant running.
18:13From Arshtip.
18:15This is going to be a free hit.
18:22Oh, bottom edge.
18:23Well, it's not where he meant it to go.
18:24It's pretty much 180 degrees the other way.
18:26But it's going to go to the boundary.
18:29Swing hard.
18:30And you never know what might happen.
18:33The round arm.
18:35Very good.
18:35The low arm action.
18:37Can't give away two here.
18:38Tim Tector does very well in the deep.
18:41So, what now?
18:43Do Arlen try and cut off a single?
18:46Another wide.
18:47Another wide.
18:49Those margins are so tight.
18:54A full toss.
18:55Well, who's underneath?
18:57The Tim Tector.
18:57The Tectors combine for the ninth wicket.
19:02Short or straight boundary.
19:04Good toss.
19:05In his arm.
19:07But couldn't time it.
19:08A good catch under pressure.
19:11Runner gone 21 off.
19:1310.
19:13140 cent for nine India.
19:16Last man in.
19:19So slow.
19:21Down the ground.
19:22It's six.
19:23But it's a win for Arlen.
19:25The greatest weekend in Irish cricket history.
19:31Arlen win by one run.
19:33A hat-trick of victories in three days.
19:35As Lorcan Tucker begins his reign with a stunning Maiden Series victory over India.
19:42Against the Oz.
19:43The world champions are toppled in Belfast.
19:47Unforgettable.
19:48Incredible.
19:49A victory to savour.
19:51A weekend to remember.
19:54Yes, the victory bells are tolling in Belfast.
19:57And they are for Ireland.
19:58It's been 1,050 days since Team India lost a bilateral series.
20:03And here you go.
20:04There was no luck of the Irish.
20:06It was the might of the Irish.
20:07A target of 155 was set courtesy of 50 by Harry Tector in his 100th cap.
20:14Prince was very impressive on debut.
20:17Scalping three for 22.
20:19But when it came to the chase, all eyes rested on Tilak Verma.
20:22A handy 55 but in very difficult conditions.
20:26In very difficult situations.
20:28Because Hollard and Mundra were weighing heavy on the Indian batters.
20:31Harshit Rana with that cameo gave a sliver of hope to the Indians.
20:35But falling short on the penultimate delivery.
20:39And that in itself means that Ireland have won both the matches.
20:43As in back-to-back matches against the back-to-back world champions.
20:48This is a red-letter day for the team in green.
