Ireland will host India in the third match of the T20I series on Wednesday. India sealed the series already by winning the previous match by 38 runs. They posted 185 runs while batting first on the back of a half-century by opener Ruturaj and cameos by Samson and Rinku. In reply, Ireland kept losing wickets and Balbirnie was the only one who kept the chase alive with 72 but that knock went in vain. Ireland will be keen to bounce back.
When: 23 August, 7:30 PM IST
Where: The Village, Dublin
TV Channel, Live Streaming: DD Sports/ Fancode
The surface here will be excellent for batting and there will be plenty of runs on offer. India scored 185 runs in the last game and the shorter square boudaries and quick outfield means we can expect another high scoring contest.
