In a rain affected match, India overcame a 109 run target set by Ireland in 12 overs thanks to some pyrotechnics from Deepak Hooda, who scored a 29 ball 47*.

Having won the toss, Hardik Pandya sent Ireland in to bat. It proved to be the right decision as the new ball attack comprising of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan and Pandya himself, reduced the hosts to 22/3 in less than 4 overs.
