Ireland gearing up for the contest-
Currently Irish Cricket is all buzzed for the Indian tour as they take on former World Champions in a two-match series. Both teams are preparing for the contest on Sunday as they eye a winning start. Ireland will be wary of the Indian team as they have the required firepower to win the series.
India on the other hand will be trying to make an impact with the likes of Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh who are part of the contingent. Hardik Pandya will lead Team India in the series while there is an expectation for the young guns to be given opportunity.

History not on Ireland’s side-
- As things stand, history is not on Ireland’s side as they have lost all the three T20Is played against India.
- In 2018, in similar circumstances before the England tour, India beat Ireland 2-0 with emphatic wins on both occasions.
- Suresh Raina and KL Rahul, who were the heroes for the Indian side as part of their winning campaign are not part of Indian team this time around.
- However Ireland would be determined to put spanner in the work as they try to win their first ever T20I contest against Indian team.
