019.719.6: Prince Yadav to Liam McCarthy, OUT! HIGH UP AND TAKEN! Fabulous stuff from Prince Yadav. He finishes off with a three-wicket haul on his T20I debut. Ireland finish on 154/8. An off-pace delivery, full on the stumps. McCarthy clears his front leg and looks to slog across the line but is early into the swing, spooning a top edge that hangs in the air for quite a while. Kishan is on the move instantly, charging forward and taking it comfortably while keeping his wits about him to dodge the stumps at the striker's end. Just 5 runs from the final over.
7 Over | Run: 154/8 | Run Rate: 7.70
119.619.5: Prince Yadav to Jai Moondra, Goes for the yorker, but ends up tossing a low full toss, Jai hits it towards extra cover and they cross.
019.519.4: Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, OUT! Straight up the chimney and gone! Second wicket for Prince. And his debut just keeps getting better and better as he has bowled a fantastic final over as well. Hits the hard length, on top of the stumps. Harry Tector has a wild hoick across the line and ends up getting a massive top edge towards the leg side, near the pitch. Ishan Kishan calls for the catch. He runs across but has to put in a late dive to secure the ball in his mitts. A fine knock in the end by Harry. Ireland are 153/7, 2 balls left.
019.419.4: Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, WIDE! Way too short and it flies above the head. Harry goes for the pull, but it is too high and he misses. Wide called for height.
219.319.3: Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, Another excellent yorker on the stumps, tailing in. Harry Tector smashes it away to widish long on and they sprint back for the second. Tilak Varma releases the throw from the deep, but Harry Tector puts in a dive at the bowling end to get home.
019.219.2: Prince Yadav to Harry Tector, India lose a review! A yorker, curves in late on the pads. Harry Tector fails to dig that out and the ball rolls off the front pad near the pitch. Liam McCarthy has almost run the whole length of the pitch, but gets sent back by Harry. There's an appeal for LBW but the umpire is unmoved. India have eventually gone upstairs for a review. Fair delivery to begin with. UltraEdge shows no bat involved. It is pitching in line, the impact is umpire's call and the ball is projected to miss the leg stump. The on-field decision is upheld.
119.119.1: Prince Yadav to Liam McCarthy, Length ball, on the stumps. Liam chops it off the inside edge and the ball rolls past the stumps to the leg side. They cross. 150 up for Ireland.
418.618.6: Arshdeep Singh to Harry Tector, FOUR! Expertly played and that's FIFTY FOR HARRY TECTOR in his 100th T20I! His 9th T20I fifty and he gets there in 44 balls. Started on a scratchy note, but he has made sure that he bats through and just has got his timing right now. Back of a length, around the off stump. Harry Tector swings hard and pierces the short third and backward point gap for a boundary.

Kishan dives forward and gloves it cleanly. McCarthy is hovering outside his crease but Tector spots the danger quickly and sends him back in time.
018.318.3: Arshdeep Singh to George Dockrell, OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Arshdeep picks up his second wicket. He bangs it short and just around off. George Dockrell keeps moving in the crease to disturb the line of the bowler and goes for a hard slash, playing it aerially. But mistimes it towards deep point and finds Axar Patel, who doesn't have to move an inch to take the catch.
218.218.2: Arshdeep Singh to George Dockrell, In the air... lands safely! A fraction fuller angling into the batter. George Dockrell clears the front leg to whip it over mid-wicket, but toe ends it in the air, and it drops in the no-man's land around square leg. Two taken.

02.22.2: Arshdeep Singh to Ross Adair, OUT! CAUGHT! Ross Adair is gone this time. Angling away from the right-hander, on a good length. Adair gives himself room to go big on the off side.

It goes only as far as cover, where Tilak Varma takes a couple of steps back and completes the catch on the edge of the ring.
42.12.1: Arshdeep Singh to Ross Adair, DROPPED AND FOUR! That was in the air for an eternity and Harshit has made an absolute meal of that one.

The keeper sets off after it. Rana backpedals from short third. It is Rana who gets there in the end, leaping backwards and getting his fingertips to it, but he cannot hold on and the ball trickles into the fence. A tough chance, but a chance nonetheless.

6 Over | Run: 17/1 | Run Rate: 8.50
01.51.5: Harshit Rana to Tim Tector, OUT! CAUGHT! That is a really soft dismissal. Tim Tector will be disappointed with himself. Rana pulls the length back and keeps it outside off. Tector was better off going over the top on the off side. He has a heave across the line and ends up getting it right off the toe end. Spoons it to mid-wicket, where Abhishek Sharma takes a sitter.
41.41.4: Harshit Rana to Tim Tector, FOUR! Good shot. Rana goes full in search of swing but ends up dishing out a low full toss, on middle. Tector makes room and cracks the drive all along the ground through covers for a four.

60.50.5: Arshdeep Singh to Ross Adair, SIX! Ross Adair finally gets one away. This is bowled into the surface, around off. This sits up to be hit for the batter. Stand and deliver stuff from Adair as he backs away a bit and smacks it with a horizontal bat back over the bowler's head.

9 Over | Run: 153/9 | Run Rate: 7.65
019.819.5: Harry Tector to Harshit Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! The Tector brothers combine to land the final nail in the coffin. Harshit Rana will be mighty disappointed having missed out on putting this away. Tector goes searching for the yorker but ends up serving a full toss, across off. Rana swings to go down the ground but does not get hold of it. Holes out to long on, where Tim Tector makes no mistake. 8 needed off the final ball, and all Harry Tector needs to do is bowl a legal ball now.

019.619.4: Harry Tector to Arshdeep Singh, Wide! Pushed down leg, on a length. Arshdeep misses out on the tickle. Lorcan Tucker moves to his right to gather the ball before whipping the bails off. Nothing more than a polite enquiry, but the umpires want to be sure. The third umpire is called into action. The replays find Arshdeep to be safe with his back leg grounded inside the crease at the time the bails came off.
119.519.3: Harry Tector to Harshit Rana, Very full, almost in the blockhole, on off. Rana powers the drive to long on and takes a single. 10 required off 3.
419.419.2: Harry Tector to Harshit Rana, FOUR! Not where Rana intended it to go, but he won't mind one bit. Tector gets the execution right in terms of the yorker, around off. Rana hangs deep and swings hard at it. The ball takes the inside edge and goes through the legs of the keeper. The short third fielder gives chase but in vain. 11 needed off 4.
219.319.2: Harry Tector to Harshit Rana, NO BALL! Oh, dear! Harry Tector gets it all wrong. Tector tries to fire it across the right-hander from around the wicket but ends up serving a chest-high full toss. Rana does well to drag it away wide of deep mid-wicket and comes back for the second run. Free Hit coming up.

118.618.6: Jai Moondra to Arshdeep Singh, Surprisingly, they have taken the single on the last ball. Moondra spots Arshdeep backing away and he bowls it outside the hitting arc. Singh bunts it wide of extra cover for one.
6 Over | Run: 135/8 | Run Rate: 7.11
018.518.5: Jai Moondra to Harshit Rana, A bye sneaked in. Rolls his fingers over the ball, on a back of a length, on middle. Rana looks to turn it away on the leg side but is beaten on the inside edge. The ball bounces in front of the keeper, Lorcan Tucker, who gets his body behind the ball. It deflects away to his left and the batters cross over.
618.418.4: Jai Moondra to Harshit Rana, SIX! That has gone back a long way. The equation comes down to 22 needed off 8. Moondra bangs it into the wicket, but the height does not trouble the batter. It comes just above the waist, around off. Rana presses back and flat bats it over long on for an 89-metre hit.
418.318.3: Jai Moondra to Harshit Rana, FOUR! Powered away. A bit fuller and Moondra offers width. Harshit hangs back, extends his hands and slams it past extra cover for a boundary.

7 Over | Run: 121/8 | Run Rate: 6.72
017.617.5: Matt Hollard to Suryansh Shedge, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust. No fireworks from Suryansh Shedge on debut. Two wickets in the over for Matt Hollard. Ireland can see the finishing line. Hollard continues with the back of the length stuff and does not offer much pace, on off. Shedge has a heave across the line but does not get hold of it. It goes only as far as deep mid-wicket, where Tim Tector snaffles it around his chest. India are 8 down now, needing 34 runs from 13 balls.
117.517.4: Matt Hollard to Harshit Rana, Did that carry? On a shortish length, on off. Harshit stands tall and flat bats it down the ground. Ben Calitz opts to hang back and could have taken a couple of steps in and made the catch easier for himself. He has to eventually put in the dive and he cannot cling on to a low catch. Single taken.
017.417.4: Matt Hollard to Harshit Rana, Wide! Too short, pace off, outside off. Harshit Rana lets it go. Deemed wide for height.
217.317.3: Matt Hollard to Harshit Rana, A proper short ball, on middle. Rana takes it on and pulls it to the left of deep square leg, where George Dockrell tumbles to his left and lobs it towards the converging Tim Tector. Two runs taken.
017.217.2: Matt Hollard to Tilak Varma, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Fifty and out for Tilak Varma. Ireland are jubilant as this is a massive scalp. Matt Hollard sticks to the slower one but the line is wider this time, on a length. Varma swings at it and ends up slicing it off the outer half towards cover, where Liam McCarthy settles under the skier and takes a pressure catch. India are 117/7, needing 38 from 16.
617.117.1: Matt Hollard to Tilak Varma, SIX! Clobbered and that brings up a FIFTY for Tilak Varma. His 7th T20I fifty and it has come with his side in heaps of trouble. Going away, off-cutter, on a length. Varma gets down on a knee and clubs it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.
016.616.6: Matthew Humphreys to Suryansh Shedge, Suryansh Shedge is safe. Flat and short, around off. Shedge pushes out in front but the ball straightens a touch to go past the outside edge.

016.116.1: Matthew Humphreys to Shivam Dube, OUT! CAUGHT! Shivam Dube holes out. Matthew Humphreys bowls it into the surface, on middle. Dube pivots for the pull but gets no power on it whatsoever.

115.615.6: Liam McCarthy to Shivam Dube, Yes, he does. Only 5 runs from the 16th over. Superb stuff from Liam McCarthy. This is on a hard length, over middle. Dube pulls it wide of deep mid-wicket for only one run. 
6 Over | Run: 109/5 | Run Rate: 6.81
015.515.5: Liam McCarthy to Shivam Dube, So far, so good from Liam McCarthy. Just 4 singles off the over so far. Full and pushed across the left-hander. Dube is expecting another short ball so he hangs back. His feet go nowhere as he pushes away from his body and is beaten on the outside edge. Can Liam McCarthy finish well?
115.415.4: Liam McCarthy to Tilak Varma, Sticks to the slower one, on a good length. Tilak walks across and drops it in the vacant square leg region. He is keen for the second but the short fine leg fielder keeps it down to one.

Axar Patel lines up to help it through short third, but the ball lands and holds in the surface, and arrives later than Axar expects it to. He also plays a bit close to his body and opens the face of the bat.

19.49.4: Liam McCarthy to Axar Patel, DROPPED! And there was a run out chance as well. Across off, on a nagging length. Patel plays the drive on the up and chips it back to the bowler. Liam McCarthy is crouching on his follow-through and gets his hands up more in evasive action rather than going for the catch. It clips his fingertips and rolls beside the strip on the off side.

6 Over | Run: 39/4 | Run Rate: 7.80
04.54.5: Jai Moondra to Tilak Varma, OUT! ISHAN KISHAN IS RUN OUT! Unbelievable scenes in Belfast. That's the last thing the Indians would have wanted. Full and wide outside off. It holds on a touch and Tilak Varma ends up chipping it on the bounce to the backward point fielder. Now, Ishan Kishan tears through from the other end, looking to pinch in a single, but Tilak sends him back on a sharp call. Seeing Kishan more than halfway through, Ross Adair takes a second to lock the aim and scores a direct hit at the bowling end with Ishan nowhere close.

44.14.1: Jai Moondra to Tilak Varma, FOUR! Lovely timing and placement! Back of a length, but Moondra errs in line this time. It is on the pads, and Varma just uses the pace, hops on the toes, and steers it to the right of short fine leg for a boundary.
13.63.6: Matt Hollard to Tilak Varma, On a back of a length, outside off with some bounce. Tilak Varma chops it off the back foot to cover for a quick single. The fielder has a shy at the bowling end, but misses by a fair bit.

02.42.4: Jai Moondra to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Insane stuff from Moondra and that has left Shreyas absolutely shellshocked. Angled outside off on a good length, Shreyas Iyer tries to reach out and access the off side, looking to punch it on the up, but the ball seemingly cuts in a touch and goes off the inside edge before making an absolute mess of the stumps. India are 19/3, and they are in serious trouble now. They need 136 runs from 104 balls.
42.32.3: Jai Moondra to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Carved away! A lot of width on offer, on a length, Shreyas Iyer goes deep in the crease and slaps it along the ground to deep backward point for a boundary.

01.51.5: Matthew Humphreys to Ishan Kishan, Straightish and shortish, on off. Ishan Kishan slaps it but straight to the cover fielder. Ishan will feel that he missed out on that one.
41.41.4: Matthew Humphreys to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Dismissive! Short and outside off. Ishan Kishan gets enough width. He goes deep in the crease and cuts it powerfully to beat the point fielder to his right for a boundary. He was onto it in a flash.
11.31.3: Matthew Humphreys to Shreyas Iyer, Drifting in from middle, full in length. Shreyas Iyer clips it off the pads to the mid-wicket region for a single.
41.21.2: Matthew Humphreys to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Cracking shot! A little too full from Humphreys, around off. Shreyas Iyer gets on top of the ball and thrashes it through the cover gap for a boundary. The Indian captain is off the mark in style.
11.11.1: Matthew Humphreys to Ishan Kishan, Flat, outside off, Kishan works it to deep cover for a single.
00.60.6: Jai Moondra to Shreyas Iyer, Back of a length, on middle. Shreyas Iyer hops off and drops it down the pitch.
6 Over | Run: 1/2 | Run Rate: 1.00
00.50.5: Jai Moondra to Shreyas Iyer, Swing and a miss! Full ball, nipping away from the batter. Shreyas Iyer goes for a drive but plays inside the line and is beaten all ends up.
00.40.4: Jai Moondra to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! What a screamer of a catch from Hollard. A nothing shot from Abhishek, and he pays the price. Good length, outside off, shaping away. Abhishek throws his hands at it with everything he has, and the ball pops up, sailing towards the deep third region. It swirls in the air, and Hollard tracks it from short third, circling under it. He nearly overruns the ball but arches back and plucks it almost behind him. He falls over but manages to keep the ball in his hand. India are rocked early as they lose both their openers. They are 1/2, needing 154 more runs.
10.30.3: Jai Moondra to Ishan Kishan, Back of a length, swinging away from the batter. Ishan Kishan climbs on the ball and taps it through backward point for a single. India and Kishan are off the mark in the chase.
00.20.2: Jai Moondra to Ishan Kishan, Too full on off, Ishan Kishan scuffs it to mid off.
00.10.1: Jai Moondra to Sanju Samson, OUT! LBW! A beauty to start with and Jai draws first blood for Ireland. An inswinger on a good length, on middle. Sanju Samson plays across the line but misses and the ball thuds into the front pad. A huge confident appeal for LBW and up goes the finger instantly. Sanju Samson thinks for a bit and sends it upstairs for a review, but this looks straight and only height can save him. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball projected to hit the leg stump. A golden duck for Samson and Moondra gets him once again. India are 0/1, chasing 155.
