India win toss and opt to field first
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, not named to feature
Ireland make 182-9 from their 20 overs
India end on 148-9 as Ireland win by 34 runs
Abhishek Sharma sends Liam McCarthy's opening delivery to the boundary, then takes two before rifling behind for another four.
Two more fours follow but his final final heave of the over falls just inches from an Irish fielder.

Abhishek Sharma is playing with so much intent. He backs his ability. He wants to pick the ball up and stand very still. It's proving too easy for him at the minute!
A wicket with his first ball in international for Jay Moondra but there's also a six as Abhishek Sharma goes long on the on-side.
Samson b Moondra 5 (Ind 16-1)
What a start to international cricket for Jay Moondra as he takes a ticket with his debut ball.
Sanju Samson is the batter to go, playing on and watching his stumps fly.

Sanju Samson starts with a four off Matthews Humphreys before fellow opener Abhishek Sharma then rifles the ball out of the ground for a huge six.
Another four from Sharma completes the over.

Ireland lost some momentum at the end of the innings and they lost wickets in clumps. That said its still a very decent effort from their 36-3 powerplay score. They ran intelligently between the wickets and captain Lorcan Tucker really delivered with a 50.
So, as we take a break before India's innings, the visitors will need 183 runs to win.
Get Involved
India should continue backing their experienced players in major matches while gradually introducing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Since he is still very young, there's no need to rush him. He should be given opportunities in selected matches and challenging situations to gain experience while allowing the senior players to continue leading the batting lineup. That approach protects a young talent while still preparing him for the future.

Humphreys run out (Tilak) 2 (Ire 182-9)
Jai Moondra comes in for his debut and gets his first two runs before Matthew Humphreys is run out on the final ball of Ireland's innings.

Clever bowling from Arshdeep. Delany will be gutted not to get a fifty. Arsdeep bowled a good length angling in from outside off.
Varma c Patel b McCarthy 7 (178-8)
Ireland lose two wickets in two balls as Liam McCarthy slices off Axar Patel's first ball of the over and it's an easy catch for Tilak Varma.

Patel c Singh b Delany 49 (Ire 178-7)
Gareth Delany departs for 49 as Axar Patel catches his shot from Arshdeep Singh.
Liam McCarthy did hit a big four in what was, until the final ball, a productive Irish over.
A quieter over as Ireland add just four runs off Axar Patel.
Liam McCarthy comes in for the rest of the over after George Dockrell's dismissal and escapes exiting quickly as, after a review, he receives a leg bye and is not judged to have been caught out leg before wicket.
Singh c Patel b Dockrell 19 (Ire 164-6)
A sixth wicket falls as George Dockrell goes for 19.
His sliced shot off Axar Patel's delivery was caught by Arshdeep Singh.
That just halts their momentum, but they have responded well so far to previous setbacks.

A good passage of play for Ireland. Good batting from Ireland over the last few overs. The total now is looking pretty good after a poor powerplay score! That last over from Krishna was awful. He did nothing right.
A big over for Ireland, who surpass 150 as their revival continues.
There is an early four for George Dockrell off Prasidh Krishna and Gareth Delany then gets adds another four as he smacks it straight to the boundary.
Delany then hits three successive sixes to the boundary to round off a superb over.

Gareth Delany and Geroge Dockrell respond well to the loss of the fifth wicket in the last over.
Dockrell pulls a full toss for six off Washington Sundar, who comes in to bowl for the first time in the game.
Dockrell then adds a four off the free hit and two singles to enjoy a good start to his batting as Delany also edges for four.

Sooryavanshi's omission defies logic given his current form and fan-following.

The teenager superstar's omission from the India team is still leading the comments from you guys. Here's hoping we get history on Sunday
George Dockrell comes in for the rest of the over as Ireland add seven more runs to their total off Harshit Rana but lose a fifth wicket in captain Lorcan Tucker.
