As for the Indian Cricket Team, due to a heavy drizzle, the toss for the India vs Ireland 3rd T20I game at Mahalide has been delayed. India has previously wrapped up the series in a convincing fashion. In the first game, rain played spoilsport and the Men in Blue emerged victorious by 2 runs with the DLS method.
But in the 2nd game of the series, the Indians showcased their might with a dominating batting and bowling performance to win the game by 33 runs and thereby seal a series win in stunning fashion.
