belfast: Who would have thought that the star-studded Indian team would succumb to a team like Ireland in its very first match after winning the T20 World Cup. Chasing the target of 182 runs, the Men in Blue were all out for 148 runs. This was Ireland’s first victory over India in any format. Now all the focus is on the second and last match, which will be played on Sunday, June 28 at 6 pm Indian time.
Will Vaibhav Suryavanshi get a chance to debut?
The question is whether there will be any change in the playing eleven of Team India for the second match or not. Is 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi going to make his debut for India? Will he get a chance in the final 11? Actually, India’s biggest problem was the disintegration of its batting order. In such a situation, people are asking whether Vaibhav will get a chance in this match or will his turn come in the England series.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s debut difficult in the second match also
If sources are to be believed, the team management is not in much panic after a defeat. Vaibhav Suryavanshi will probably have to wait longer for his chance as there is little chance of a change in the top order after a defeat. That means Vaibhav’s turn will come only in the five-match series against England in Chester-le-Street!
Bowling was a flop, but batting was a super flop.
Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer could not make any significant contribution with the bat. Abhishek Sharma definitely scored a half-century, but he did not get support from the other end. Due to increasing pressure of required run-rate, Tilak Verma, Washington Sundar and Shivam Dubey also could not handle the innings. The team suffered the most loss due to Washington Sundar conceding 19 runs in one over and Prasidh Krishna conceding 57 runs in four overs. Krishna gave 27 runs in the 17th over of the innings.
India’s squad: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Verma (vice-captain), Ravi Bishnoi, Abhishek Sharma, Suryansh Shedge, Prasidh Krishna, Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Ishan Kishan, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Dubey, Prince Yadav, Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
Ireland squad: Lorcan Tucker (captain & wk), Ross Adair, Ben Calitz, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Stephen Doheny, Matthew Humphreys, Gavin Hoey, Matthew Hollard, Liam McCarthy, Jai Mundra, Harry Tector, Tim Tector, Reuben Wilson.
