Ireland are all set to host India in the second match of the T20I series. This match will be played at Civil Services Cricket Club in Belfast.
Ireland scripted history as they beat India in the first T20I and picked up their first ever win over India in any format. It was an excellent performance from Ireland who batted first and posted a total of more than 180 and later bowled India out for 148. India will be keen to level the series while Ireland are aiming for a series win. This should be a cracker.
