Ireland beat India in that opening Twenty20 International at Malahide, winning by six wickets. The chase finished with three overs left. Fifteen‑year‑old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, India’s young batter, did not play. It was that first time Ireland have beaten the world champions in a T20I.
The result puts Ireland in one position to take the two‑match series in today’s second T20I. India is set to have Shreyas Iyer as captain and will look to level that series. Fans in Dublin are waiting for a close finish.
