IRE vs IND 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report | IND vs IRE 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction Today | Dublin Pitch Report

Not only have India wrapped up this series, but two of their fast bowlers – Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna – now have some important game-time under their belt. Their exploits, along with Ravi Bishnoi’s array of wrong’uns, have been mostly too good for an Ireland team that have promised plenty but have not been able to deliver in recent times.

The hosts enjoyed promising starts with both bat and ball in the second T20I. However, staying with India for an extended period is the challenge. More is required from skipper Paul Stirling as well as the talented duo of Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector, who have both struggled in this series. If the top order can set a platform, the likes of Curtis Campher and George Dockrell can cause issues.

IRE vs IND 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction – Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Ireland:

• Andy Balbirnie played the lone hand for Ireland in the second T20I. His 72 was 51 more than the next-highest score of 23.
• Ireland need Paul Stirling to deliver. The skipper has scored just 56 runs in six T20Is against India to date.
• Curtis Campher has looked one of the more confident Irish players this series. He has made two starts (39 and 18), and will be looking for a platform from his top order.
• George Dockrell in T20Is since the start of 2022: 31 inns, 491 runs, avg. 24.6, SR 141.1.
• Josh Little has taken three wickets in four T20Is against India at an average of 48.33 and economy of 10.87. The hosts need their premier fast bowler to improve on these numbers.

India:

• Half-centurion Ruturaj Gaikwad enjoys batting against Josh Little. The right-hander has scored 41 runs off 23 balls without dismissal in T20s.
• Rinku Singh was named man of the match in the second T20I. The left-hander is having a dream year in T20 cricket, with 512 runs at an average of 56.89 and strike rate of 151.48.
• Ravi Bishnoi has dismissed Paul Stirling twice in six balls (six runs). Also, he will be important against Tector who has looked shaky against spin this series.
• Prasidh Krishna has taken four wickets in two matches this series. His ability to hit the pitch hard has been too much for Ireland at times. If he’s picked, expect Prasidh to continue with that tactic.
• Jasprit Bumrah has picked up two wickets in each of the three T20Is he has played against Ireland. He averages 9.66 per wicket with an economy of 4.83.

Other Stats and Facts

• India have beaten Ireland in all ten meetings across formats.
• Yashasvi Jaiswal in T20s in 2023: 19 inns, 757 runs, avg. 44.52, SR 160.04.
• After a good series in West Indies, Tilak Varma has made scores of 0 and 1 in Ireland.

The Village Malahide Dublin Pitch Report and Weather

There is some rain forecast on Wednesday. However, there are also sunny patches expected, so we can hope to see a result even if the game is interrupted.

Expect another relatively true surface with some movement available with the new ball and spin for the wristspinners in particular. With some rain around, chasing may be the way to go.
