IND vs IRE Fantasy Tips

• Mark Adair is the third highest wicket-taker in T20Is this year with 23 wickets in 11 games.
• Mark Adair also finished as the joint-highest wicket-taker in the recently concluded T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, with 12 wickets in five games.
• Since 2022, Arshdeep Singh has the most wickets in this format with 48. Ireland’s Mark Adair (46) and Joshua Little (45) are close second and third in the list.
• Rinku Singh had a stellar IPL 2023 scoring 474 runs at a strike rate of 149. However he will bat in the lower middle order and might not face much balls to have an impact. Avoid him especially if India are chasing.
• Harry Tector has scored 103 runs in two innings against India at a strike rate of 163.85.
• Between these two teams, Mark Adair also has the most wickets in death overs (last four overs) in the format since 2020 – 26.
• Prasidh Krishna is returning to the team from a long injury and it is better to avoid him for this match given he has not had much gametime.
