IND vs IRE Live: Toss delayed

The toss for the third and final T20I match between India and Ireland has been delayed due to rain. Stay tuned for all the live updates.

IND vs IRE Live: Failure of Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh has got a long rope and his has been a mixed bag so far after he failed to show consistency in nailing the yorkers during the death overs in the past seven T20 games. Avesh with his pace or Mukesh Kumar with subtle variations could be tried out at Malahide, which has been a reasonably okay strip for willow wielders although it does get slower towards the end.

IND vs IRE Live: Will Jitesh make his international debut?

It is unlikely that there will be any change in the batting order unless the team management decides to rest Sanju Samson and try out Jitesh Sharma before Asian Games. However Samson, who is a senior player in this set-up, might not want to sit out as his place in the World Cup squad is far from assured and he would like to carry on from where he left in the second game when he scored 40 off 26 balls.

IND vs IRE Live: Will Team India make any changes?

The inconsequential third game gives this think-tank a chance to check out players like Avesh Khan, Jitesh Sharma, Shahbaz Ahmed, who haven’t yet got a game in the series. In fact, Avesh, who was also with the team during the West Indies T20 series has been benched for seven straight matches and if he is again kept on the sidelines, he will go into Asian Games without any game time, which might be detrimental for both him and the team.

IND vs IRE Live: Preparations for the Asia Cup

The more Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna bowl, the fitter they will get, better the rhythm will be and greater the pace in their deliveries — ingredients that are a must to cook a perfect recipe to trouble Pakistan in the upcoming Asia Cup and the marquee World Cup. However, the skipper along with stand-in head coach Sitanshu Kotak will also have to keep in mind that there is an Asian Games to be played and some of the reserve bench players might just be undercooked.

IND vs IRE Live: All eyes on Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah will have to balance between adding miles to his legs and checking his team’s bench-strength as India aim to complete a comfortable clean-sweep against Ireland. The Indian skipper for the series has looked comfortable in the eight overs across two matches but will need to take an informed call if he intends to play a third consecutive game on the bounce in five days even though it is a T20 affair.

IND vs IRE Live: India eye clean sweep

Team India have gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three match T20I series against Ireland. The Jasprit Bumrah-led team will for a clean sweep in the series finale on Wednesday.
