IRE vs IND Match Preview:
The second and final T20I of the series between Ireland and India will take place on June 28, 2026 at the Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast. The match is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM IST, with India aiming to level the series and Ireland looking to achieve a historic win on home soil.
Ireland entered the series final with a 1-0 lead after registering a memorable 34-run win in the opening T20I. More importantly, the win is Ireland’s first international win over India across all formats. The hosts showed tremendous spirit after falling behind at 36/3 in the powerplay and staged a spectacular comeback to post 182/9 before producing a disciplined bowling performance to defend the total.
Captain Lorcan Tucker led from the front, scoring 50 off 36 balls, while Gareth Delany added a vital 49 off 32 balls to rebuild the innings. Following this, debutants Matthew Hollard and Jay Mundhra made an immediate impact with the ball and claimed 3/28 and 2/26 respectively, while Matthew Humphreys took a famous victory with 3/38.
Meanwhile, India, led by Shreyas Iyer, find themselves in a must-win position. Despite Abhishek Sharma’s explosive innings of 50 runs in just 20 balls and Shivam Dubey’s quickfire 25 runs in 14 balls, the visitors failed to build a lasting partnership and were eventually bowled out for 148 runs. However, Harshit Rana impressed with figures of 3/24, while Arshdeep Singh supported him with 2/28, providing positives for the visitors despite the defeat.
As a result, India will look to improve the stability of their middle-order and convert promising starts into important partnerships, while Ireland will look to carry their momentum and seal a historic series win with another strong all-round performance. With the series underway, fans can expect a fiercely competitive contest in Belfast.
