In a disciplined display, India's bowlers restricted Ireland to a total of 154 runs for 8 wickets in their second and final T20I match held at the Civil Service Cricket Club on Sunday. The standout performer was debutant Prince Yadav, who achieved a remarkable three-wicket haul. After winning the toss, captain Shreyas Iyer opted to bowl first, and India quickly made their mark. Ireland's opener Tim Tector was dismissed for just 5 runs in the second over, misplaying a shot off Harshit Rana to mid-wicket. Shortly after, Ross Adair (16) was caught by extra cover off a delivery from Arshdeep Singh, who finished with figures of 2 for 35 in 4 overs.

Prince Yadav continued to shine in the middle overs, claiming his first T20I wicket by dismissing Lorcan Tucker (15) caught behind, leaving Ireland at 48 for 3. Harry Tector then steadied the innings, forming a vital 65-run partnership with Benjamin Calitz, who scored 37 runs off 23 balls, as Ireland sought to recover. The Irish pair briefly counterattacked, particularly targeting debutant Suryansh Shedge, but India regained control with disciplined bowling. Shivam Dube made a significant impact in the 15th over, initially conceding a six before quickly taking two wickets, dismissing Calitz (37) and Gareth Delany (0), which halted Ireland's momentum.

Axar Patel also contributed with a tight spell, finishing with figures of 0 for 28 in 4 overs, while Harry Tector anchored the innings with a solid half-century, scoring 53 runs off 47 balls before being dismissed by Prince Yadav in the final over. Yadav capped off his impressive debut by taking another wicket, removing Liam McCarthy, and ending with remarkable figures of 3 for 22 in 4 overs. Despite the efforts, the Irish tail managed to push the total past 150 runs before India struck twice in the last six deliveries, showcasing a disciplined bowling performance. To level the series, India now requires 155 runs at a run rate of 7.75.
