India’s star-studded top order will be under pressure to make amends when they take on a buoyant Ireland in the second and final T20I here on Sunday, with Shreyas Iyer’s men aiming to level the series after a shock defeat in the opener.
Playing their first match since their T20 World Cup triumph, the reigning champions suffered one of their biggest upsets as Ireland defended 182 to bowl them out for 148 and register their maiden international win over India on Friday.
