IND vs IRE T20: Danger of series defeat looms over world champion Team India, ‘do or die’ Competition between
IND vs IRE 2nd T20: After losing the first match of the T20 series being played against Ireland in Belfast by 34 runs, now the second match has become very important for the Indian cricket team. This match to be held today will be ‘do or die’ for Team India. As it is. If the visiting Indian team wants to remain in the series, then it will have to win today’s match at any cost and level the score at 1-1. On the other hand, Ireland’s morale is sky high after the victory in the first match.
How will the weather be in Belfast?
The biggest concern for the fans and the team management was the weather, but the matter of relief is that the match will start at 1:30 pm Belfast time. The probability of rain during this period is only 10 percent. The ground will be cloudy and strong winds may blow. This means that even if there is light drizzle, the match will not be canceled. There is no major tension for the Indian team in terms of weather.
Ireland can create big history
The Ireland team registered its first win in T20 history by defeating India at the Civil Service Cricket Club on Friday. The confidence of the host team has increased a lot with this victory after losing 8 consecutive matches. Captain Lorcan Tucker is now eyeing a historic bilateral series victory by defeating world champions India in the second match. The Irish team would not like to miss this golden opportunity.
Death overs bowling became a headache
In the first T20 match, the world champion Indian team was seen lagging behind on every front of the game. However, bowler Harshit Rana performed brilliantly and took 3 wickets for 24 runs, but despite this, Team India gave away 66 runs in the last 5 overs. Due to strategic mistakes, Ireland scored a big score. If India has to make a comeback today, then the death overs bowling will have to improve.

Batsmen will have to take responsibility
In the last match, opener Abhishek Sharma had scored a stormy fifty in just 20 balls, but as soon as he was out, the Indian middle order collapsed like a house of cards. Captain Shreyas Iyer could score only 3 runs. Ishan Kishan, Tilak Verma, Washington Sundar and Akshar Patel got good starts, but they could not convert them into big innings. Apart from Shivam Dubey’s short but sharp innings, no partnership could flourish in the middle order.
Will there be any change in the playing eleven?
Since the series is at stake, the Indian team management can make some major changes in today’s match. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 15-year-old young and aggressive opener who is with the team, may get a chance to debut in the playing eleven today. Fans hope that the Indian team will learn from its past mistakes and make a strong comeback today and end the series on a draw.
