Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad came out all guns blazing after India was asked to bat first by the hosts. Gaikwad then formed a crucial partnership with Sanju Samson to steady the ship in the middle overs. The stylish opener went on to score 58 while Samson scored 40 at a strike rate of 153. Rinku Singh provided the impetus that was required at the back end of the innings smashing 38 at a staggering strike rate of 181. Chasing 186 Ireland lost 3 of their top four within the powerplay and never really recovered from that point. Andy Balbernie scoring 72 (51) was the only batter who put up a fight against a competent Indian bowling attack. Jasprit Bumrah picking 2 wickets for just 15 runs was the pick of the bowlers while Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi chipped in with two wickets. Ireland was bundled out for 152 falling short by 33 runs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Rinku Singh is the Player of the Match<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n Rinku Singh: "I am feeling good.

We had positives for the entire 40 overs. I think we just let them get away in the last few overs. Their batters got in and were difficult to bowl at. We have areas to work on. We can turn it around in the last game and hopefully get a win."<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n\n Jasprit Bumrah, Indian Skipper: " I am feeling good. Today was a little drier. We thought it would get slower and hence batted first. It is very pleasing when things go your way. It is tough to pick an XI where there is so much talent. Great headache to have to be honest. Everyone is eager and wants a chance. Everyone is confident as well. If you play with the baggage of expectations, you are under pressure right from the start.
