IRE vs IND 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second T20I of the three-match T20I series between Ireland and India gets underway on Sunday afternoon at the Malahide Cricket Club. The opening game of the series saw India win by 2 runs (DLS) as they were on 47-2 from 6.5 overs in response to Ireland’s 139-7. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 15:00 local time in Dublin.
Ireland recovered from 27-4 and 59-6 to post 139-7 in the opening game. If the rain had not arrived then they could have caused India more problems on Friday.
India had an excellent start with the ball in the opening match of the series and had got off to a strong start with the bat when the rain came. They should be too good again in this match.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
The hosts have had a very consistent selection process across all formats over the last 18 months and as a result have brought through a group of players who all now have a large amount of international experience. No players left the ground with injuries on Friday.
IRE Key Players
- Paul Stirling- the captain made an 11-ball 11 in the opening game of the series. He will want to take more care against the spinners in this game after being bowling by Ravi Bishnoi.
- Curtis Campher- the 24 year old South African born all-rounder hit three fours and one six as part of Ireland’s rebuild from their poor start on Friday.
- Craig Young- the 33 year old right-arm fast medium bowler got good pace and movement from this pitch in the first T20I. He has 59 wickets in T20Is so far in his career.
IRE Team Form
Ireland are looking to avoid their third successive T20I defeat in this game.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Only four players who took part in the deciding T20I against West Indies last Sunday took to the field for India in Dublin on Friday. There were two debutants for India with Prasidh Krishna and Rinku Singh making their first appearances in this format.
IND Key Players
- Yashasvi Jaiswal- the young left-hander plays with a brilliant freedom and attacking state of mind. When not looking to hit boundaries, he is always looking to rotate the strike.
- Tilak Varma- the 20 year old batting all-rounder had his first real failure in international cricket on Friday when he was dismissed for a golden duck. However, he has been brilliant in 2023 and we expect a response in this match.
- Jasprit Bumrah- the right-arm quick bowler delivered a few boundary balls in his return in the opening match of the series but also conceded only 1 run from the 19th over after taking 2 wickets in the first.
IND Team Form
India lost the final T20I match against West Indies but have now won three of their last four games in this format.
India Predicted Playing 11
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Jasprit Bumrah (c), Prasidh Krishna
Ireland vs India Head to Head
Although Ireland are still looking for their first win over India, their last two defeats have been by only 4 runs (2022) and 2 runs (DLS). Ireland will think they are getting closer to a first victory.

Who will win Ireland vs India 2nd T20 Match?
Ireland will have left Malahide Cricket Club on Friday with renewed confidence that they can compete in this series. However, we still have India as the top team with bat and ball ahead of this match
🏆 Ireland vs India Prediction
The opening game of the series was very entertaining and it was a great shame that the match was reduced due to the weather and we were not able to get a great finish. India deserved to win the opening game but Ireland showed that they will not roll over in this series. We expect another close match with Ireland getting on top at times but are backing India to win.
