India won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium, Rohit Sharma’s men dominated from the start as Ireland’s batting crumbled under immense pressure and unfamiliar conditions.
Gareth Delaney was the only batter for the Irish side who could get past the 20-run mark while only four batters managed to get past the double figures.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled exceptionally well giving just 6 runs in his 3 overs spell while picking up a couple of scalps while Hardik Pandya was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-27 in his allotted 4 overs.
Arshdeep Singh also bowled well with an economy rate of 8.75 while picking up 2 wickets in the process restricting Ireland to only 96 runs in 16 overs.
