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

Matthew Hollard to Arshdeep Singh, no run, back of a length around off, Arshdeep swings across the line and misses. Hollard picked three in the first game and has repeated the same today. In fact, he's better the figures from that game, finishing with 4-0-26-3

Matthew Hollard to Suryansh Shedge, out Caught by Tim Tector!! The wheels are coming off. India are 8 down and Shedge departs. He was the last recognised batter. Once again Ireland making the most of the conditions. It is short and into the wicket, Shedge takes on the bigger part of the ground and hits it straight up. Tector settles near deep mid-wicket and hangs on to a simple chance. Suryansh Shedge c Tim Tector b Matthew Hollard 1(5)

Matthew Hollard to Harshit Rana, 1 run, dropped! Calitz does not hold on. Another short of length delivery and Rana strikes the pull flat towards long-on. The ball was dying on Calitz and he does not judge it well. He waits for the ball to arrive rather than coming in, then puts in the dive and puts it down

Matthew Hollard to Harshit Rana, wide, slower bouncer outside off, too short and wide as well, Rana leaves and it is called wide for height

Matthew Hollard to Harshit Rana, 2 runs, short of length delivery, Rana rides the bounce and pulls it wide of deep mid-wicket, easy couple

Matthew Hollard to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Liam McCarthy!! That should be the game for Ireland. At least they will believe it is. McCarthy takes the catch and does a fist pump. Fifty and out for Tilak. He had to be there till the end to see India through but it does not pan out that way. Full and slanted across, Tilak has to reach for the lofted drive and he mistimes it straight up. McCarthy settles under it near extra cover and makes no mistake. Tilak Varma c Liam McCarthy b Matthew Hollard 55(46) [4s-3 6s-1]

Matthew Hollard to Tilak Varma, SIX, fifty for Tilak. It is also the first six for India today and it has taken them 17.1 overs. This is right in the slot and Tilak got hold of that. Length delivery around off, Tilak crouches low and heaves it a long way over deep mid-wicket

Matthew Hollard to Shivam Dube, 1 run, 133ks on a length and outside off, Dube guides it to third man

Matthew Hollard to Axar Patel, out Caught by Lorcan Tucker!! Hollard breaks the partnership. That's an excellent grab from Lorcan Tucker. India are five down and continue to stutter. Back of a length and slanted across, Axar spotted third man inside the ring and wanted to steer it fine, but gets it to fine and Tucker sticks his left hand out, and gobbles it up. Seemed like catching practice that slip fielders and keeper do before the start of the game. Axar Patel c Lorcan Tucker b Matthew Hollard 14(18)
