With Indian skipper Jasprit Bumrah’s sensational comeback spell and Indian bowlers’ combined efforts, India restricted Ireland to 139/7 in the opening match of the three-match T20I series against Ireland in Durbin on Friday.
Jasprit Bumrah plucked Ireland’s batting unit by dismissing two batters in his first over. Prasidh Krishna also dismissed two batters in his debut match while Ravi Bishnoi also got two breakthroughs. Arshdeep Singh cleared up one batter.
Put to bat first, Ireland got blows at the beginning of the innings as the Indian skipper Bumrah made an excellent comeback, taking two wickets in the first over. He dismissed Andy Balbirnie with an outside off-ball taking an inside edge onto the stumps. Quickly, in the fifth ball of the same over, he picked up the wicket of Lorcan Tucker on a duck.(ANI)
