In the first T20I at The Village in Malahide, Deepak Hooda put on an outstanding display with the bat as India overcame Ireland by seven wickets. Hooda, who often bats in the middle of the order, walked out to start the innings and came back with a score of 47. (29). Due to rain, the game was trimmed to 12 overs per side, and his heroics helped India chase down a difficult 109 in 9.2 overs. The captain provided excellent assistance for Hooda, scoring 24(12) balls before being dismissed by Joshua Little. Suryakumar Yadav was removed for a duck, and Ishan Kishan also got 26 off 11 balls. Harry Tector helped Ireland post a difficult 108/4 in 12 overs earlier in the day after being asked to bat first with an unbeaten 64 (33). The right-handed batter had a strike-rate of 193.94 while hitting six 4s and three 6s. India came out aggressively to start the rain-shortened match. India received a wicket from Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the opening over, and captain Hardik Pandya struck in the second. After that, Avesh Khan took a wicket and Ireland was briefly reduced to 23/3. The hosts were given a second chance thanks to a strong 50-run combination between Tector and Lorcan Tucker. Get the First T20 Highlights of India vs. Ireland.
