While bowling, Craig Young picked up two consecutive wickets, and the game was even before rain interrupted.

For India, Jasprit Bumrah was the biggest positive, as he won the Man of the Match award for his brilliant bowling figures of 2/24. Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi also picked two wickets each.

IRE vs IND 2nd T20 Dream11 Prediction – Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Ireland:

• Paul Stirling could assemble only 11 runs in his previous innings. However, he is a quality batter who has vast experience playing this format. Stirling would hope to provide a good start to the team.
• Harry Tector looked at sea in the opening encounter, as he made nine runs off 16 balls. However, Tector is a quality batter who has improved massively in the last year or so. A lot will rely on him in the batting department.
• Curtis Campher showed his batting expertise in the last match, where he made 39 runs while batting under immense pressure. He is also a fine bowler. Hence, Campher can fetch points with both bat and ball in the fantasy team.
• Barry McCarthy made an excellent half-century while batting at No. 8 in the previous game. He is also a capable bowler who can use the conditions well and snare a few crucial wickets.
• Josh Little is probably the most skilled bowler in the Ireland team. He can bowl with the new ball and also operate effectively in the slog overs. Ireland would hope for an inspiring bowling show from their ace pacer.

India:

• Ruturaj Gaikwad looked in good nick in the 16 balls he faced in the first rubber. He hit a boundary and a maximum in his short stay. India would want a good start from him again.
• Yashasvi Jaiswal made 24 with the help of three boundaries and a maximum. The southpaw has been in top form, and a good outing can not be ruled out. Yashasvi would need to be cautious early on.
• Tilak Varma was dismissed on a golden duck in an unlucky manner. However, he was in top form against the West Indies earlier. Tilak would want to score big again and solidify his position in the team.
• Prasidh Krishna bowled really well in his comeback game. The lanky pacer snared two vital wickets to derail Ireland’s innings in the first T20I. Krishna can trouble the Irish batters again with his pace and accuracy.
• Ravi Bishnoi weaved his magic and stifled the Irish batters severely. Ireland were unable to pick his variations and two of them also perished in the process. Bishnoi has taken two wickets thrice in the last five innings.
• Jasprit Bumrah never looked to be playing his first competitive game after 11 months. He was bang on target right from the get-go and made full use of the helpful conditions early on. The stand-in captain can again cause serious damage.
