Ireland’s captain believes in a comeback against India

Ireland captain Paul Stirling said that they didn’t have positives in second the T20I match against India, however, the right-handed batter is hopeful of avoiding a clean sweep in the third and last game of the series. India clinched a three-match T20I series against Ireland with an impressive 33-run victory in Dublin on Sunday. With the victory, India took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Ireland captain also stated that the Indian batters were difficult to bowl in the match. “We had chances. We didn’t quite take it. We had positives for the entire 40 overs. I think we just let them get away in the last few overs. Their batters got going and were difficult to bowl to. We have areas to work on. We can turn it around and hopefully get a win,” Paul Stirling said in a post-match presentation. Ireland batter Andrew Balbirnie believes that his team is capable of challenging India after losing the three-match T20I series with a game to spare.
While heaping praise on India’s bowling attack, Balbirnie said that the Men in Blue’s skilled bowling unit is highly skilled and “hopefully” his team can put out a batter show in the last T20I match of the series.
Chasing the target, Andrew Balbirnie fought alone and received no support from the other batters, limiting the home side to 152/8 in their 20 overs and losing the critical game.
