    OUT! Caught. Prince Yadav to Liam McCarthy. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, top edge in the air uncontrolled to short leg, caught by Kishan. Ireland recovered well after a slow start to post a competitive total after being asked to bat first. The Indian bowlers dominated the powerplay, keeping the openers quiet and applying early pressure. Harry Tector steadied the innings with a composed knock, while Lorcan Tucker helped rebuild before becoming Prince Yadav's maiden T20I wicket. Ben Calitz then played a valuable cameo alongside Tector to push Ireland to a fighting score. India will be pleased with their bowling effort and now have the chance to level the series with a successful chase.
