India are leading the series by 1-0 as they beat Ireland by two runs by the Duckworth-Lewis method (DLS) in a rain-curtailed match in the opener of the three-match T20I series in Dublin on Friday.

Ireland’s skipper said at the toss, “We gonna have a bowl today. Looks a good surface, hopefully it plays well. Usually a high-scoring venue here. We are playing the seam team” Indian skipper Jasprit Bumrah also said, “We would have batted first as well.



The weather is a little better today and we wanted to put runs on the board. The body is good, was a little careful in the beginning and then after that kept on building confidence and it was good. Same team.”
