Ireland vs India, 2nd T20I, India tour of Ireland, 2026 - HighlightsIRE vs IND, 2nd T20I, India tour of Ireland, 2026 - Highlights

Prince Yadav to Liam McCarthy, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! Prince Yadav finishes with a 3-fer on debut. This is once again smart bowling. He goes pace off and it is the off-cutter, McCarthy does not pick it and just swings through the line, the miscue goes straight up and Ishan runs in to take a simpler catch this time. Liam McCarthy c Ishan Kishan b Prince Yadav 2(4)

Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! This is brilliant bowling from Prince Yadav. He has his second wicket. Prince once again goes short and quick into the wicket, Tector is hurried on the pull and the top-edge goes straight up. Ishan settles under and puts in a last second dive to hang on. A good knock from Tector comes to an end. Harry Tector c Ishan Kishan b Prince Yadav 53(47) [4s-5 6s-1]

Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, no run, India lose the review. Speared into the blockhole, Tector clears his front leg and fails to jam it out. The ball strikes him on the back pad and the impact was around leg, ball-tracking showed it to be missing leg-stump. There was a confusion regarding the single - McCarthy wanted the run but Tector sent him back and kept strike

Arshdeep Singh to Harry Tector, FOUR, fifty for Tector. Not one of his fluent knocks but he's held this innings together. He raises his bat and acknowledges the applause. It is his 100th T20I and he's made it a memorable one. Short and around off, Tector makes room and slashes it behind square on the off-side, splits backward point and short third perfectly

Arshdeep Singh to Liam McCarthy, 1 run, angling into the left-hander, McCarthy knocks it in front of long-on and crosses over

Arshdeep Singh to George Dockrell, out Caught by Axar Patel!! Another batter picks out sweeper cover. Second wicket for Arshdeep and he's started this penultimate over nicely. He spots Dockrell make room and keeps it outside off, the batter reaches for it and slaps it straight to Axar, who didn't have to move much to hold on. Arshdeep and Axar do the air handshake from their respective positions. George Dockrell c Axar Patel b Arshdeep Singh 19(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

Axar Patel to George Dockrell, SIX, fabulous shot! Excellent use of the feet from Dockrell. He comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it straight down the ground. Ireland needed few more of this in the last 16 balls..

Shivam Dube to George Dockrell, FOUR, that's a good over - 13 runs. Was it needed to give Dube another over? Axar, Prince, Rana and Arshdeep all have overs up their sleeves. Low full toss at the stumps, Dockrell makes room and slams it straight down the ground. No chance for the long-on fielder to stop that..

Shivam Dube to Harry Tector, FOUR, once again Dube starts the over with a boundary. Slower short ball and Tector played it nicely, he delayed his pull and helped it over short fine. His only aim was to clear the inner ring

Shivam Dube to Gareth Delany, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Two in two for Dube. He's on a hat-trick. The way the over started with a six it felt like Ireland would target Dube, but he's bounced back with two wickets. This is a good length delivery, nips in a tad, Delany is caught in the crease and cut into half, the ball beats the inside-edge and hits the top of off-stump. India bring the contest back in balance with the twin strikes. Gareth Delany b Shivam Dube 0(1)

Shivam Dube to Benjamin Calitz, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Dube breaks the partnership. The dangerous Calitz is on his way back. He has done his job of providing impetus to the innings, over to others to finish things off. This is full and outside off, Calitz bends down and reaches for the big hit, opens the bat face and slices it to sweeper cover. The cameraman thought it went the distance and could not pick it out. But the ball went straight to Tilak and he takes it well in from the rope. Benjamin Calitz c Tilak Varma b Shivam Dube 37(23) [4s-3 6s-2]

Shivam Dube to Benjamin Calitz, SIX, that's outta here. Calitz is known for his six-hitting and he's showing why - this is massive. Length delivery, Calitz maintains a solid base and swings it high towards cow corner. He comfortably clears the rope..

Harshit Rana to Benjamin Calitz, FOUR, that is smart batting. Calitz moves away and Rana goes short outside off, the southpaw reaches for it and slaps it over mid-off. The fielder was inside the ring, so it was a safe shot

Harshit Rana to Harry Tector, 1 run, slower delivery, Tector waits and flat-bats it to long-on

Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, 1 run, shimmies down and is met by a high full toss, it is just below the waist and Tector knocks it towards mid-on

Prince Yadav to Benjamin Calitz, FOUR, unlucky! Back of a length delivery, keeps climbing and Calitz swings across the line, gets a top-edge and the ball flies over Ishan. Prince left with his hands on his head

Axar Patel to Harry Tector, FOUR, in the air and lands between two fielders. Axar slows it up and gets it to spin away, Tector sits down to play the slog sweep and gets more of a top-edge. The ball splits deep mid-wicket and long-on, one bounce and over the ropes

Suryansh Shedge to Harry Tector, SIX, dropped and parried over. The catch wouldn't have counted but Arshdeep should have saved the six. Full toss outside off, Tector slams it down the ground and Arshdeep runs to his right from long-off. Jumps and tries to take it sideways, the ball burst through his hands and lands beyond the rope

Suryansh Shedge to Benjamin Calitz, SIX, just over Samson. Shedge goes back over the wicket and digs it into the pitch, Calitz takes it on and does not quite middle the pull. He gets it high on the bat but the ball has enough to clear a leaping Samson near deep square leg

Suryansh Shedge to Benjamin Calitz, FOUR, much needed boundary for Ireland. They need a move on here. Shedge goes round the wicket and drags it short, Calitz nails the pull in front of square and almost sends it the distance. "First four in 31 balls," informs Ian O'Brien on air

Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, no run, Prince Yadav drops a return catch. Got the ball to climb up from a length and forced the punch off the thick inside half back down the pitch. Prince Yadav got both hands in his followthrough, but couldn't quite lock his palms in time...

Prince Yadav to Lorcan Tucker, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! Edged and gone. Maiden T20I wicket for Prince Yadav. He bangs it on a length and denies room outside off, forcing Tucker to manufacture a boundary through the leg-side. Tucker looks to swat and gets a healthy outside-edge to the right of the keeper. Extra bouce Abhishek Sharma its part as well. Lorcan Tucker c Ishan Kishan b Prince Yadav 15(18) [4s-2]

Shivam Dube to Harry Tector, 1 run, Dube starts off with a pitched up delivery outside off at 123ks, Tector leans into the drive and a half stop from Tilak at cover prevents the boundary. He put in a full length dive to his left and did well to make some contact

Prince Yadav to Lorcan Tucker, FOUR, overpitches and gets punished! 141ks angling into the stumps, Tucker shuffles down the pitch and flicks crisply square on the leg-side

Arshdeep Singh to Harry Tector, FOUR, provides width and Tector cashes in! 137ks back of a length outside off, Tector cuts fiercely and gets the ball flying past the diving left hand of backward point

Harshit Rana to Lorcan Tucker, FOUR, Tucker takes on the short ball. Pulls this 133ks delivery from outside off and heaves it off the inside half wide of Arshdeep at mid-wicket

Arshdeep Singh to Harry Tector, FOUR, inside-edge? Yes! 136ks wobbles in from a length with extra bounce, Tector looks to defend and a thick inside-edge races away past the keeper to his left

Arshdeep Singh to Ross Adair, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! The drop does not prove costly. Ross Adair looks to loft this on the off-side and tried to stay leg-side of the delivery. The ball had extra bounce and it flew off the thick toe end into the air towards Tilak at extra cover. Ross Adair c Tilak Varma b Arshdeep Singh 16(7) [4s-1 6s-2]

Arshdeep Singh to Ross Adair, FOUR, oh dear! A comedy of errors and Arshdeep isn't pleased with it. A massive top-edge on the pull and the ball kept swirling back towards the fine third man region. Harshit ran back from short third and so did Ishan Kishan. Both of them were watching each other for a fleeting moment and then in a moment of panic, Harshit decides to go for the catch and makes an absolute meal of it. Pops it out of his palm while leaping backwards and trickles away to the fence...

Harshit Rana to Tim Tector, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Gone this time! Harshit Rana pulls his length back and generates a bit of extra bounce outside off. Tector pulls and skews it off the thick inside half straight into the bucket hands of Abhishek Sharma at mid-wicket. Tim Tector c Abhishek Sharma b Harshit Rana 5(6) [4s-1]

Harshit Rana to Tim Tector, FOUR, timed sweetly! Tim Tector makes room, stays leg-side of the 137ks low full toss and creams the drive all along the ground through extra cover

Arshdeep Singh to Ross Adair, SIX, one more! This is even better from Ross Adair. The length was much fuller than the previous delivery, so Adair just held his shape and thwacked it many-a-mile back over the bowler's head

Arshdeep Singh to Ross Adair, SIX, this time he connects! Sat up on a length outside off at 130ks, Adair clears his front leg and clubs it down the ground with plenty of bottom hand power for a first maximum
