Ireland will definitely lose this one, but they could still win the last one if they play their cards right. Let's see what happens!

Losing this match is only a matter of time for Ireland as Ireland now need 38 runs from three balls to win. If Ireland could have done well early in the match then they would have had a chance to win this match but they batted brilliantly towards the end of the game due to which they were able to reduce the run gap with India a lot. If India win today's match, Jasprit Bhomra is likely to be the man of the match, as the fast bowler bowled brilliantly against Ireland and his bowling economy rate is very low. In addition to bowling at a low economic rate, he has picked up valuable wickets, so it will not be surprising if he is given the Man of the Match award today as in the first match. Jasprit Bhomra was not awarded man of the match but Ruturaj Gaikwad will be awarded man of the match as he opened the batting with a brilliant innings of 58 off 43 balls.

I am so happy for Bumrah today as well, consecutively second match and he looks in such a good touch no one can even tell that he is back from an injury. This performance makes me feel even sad that he wasn't part of the WTC final team otherwise he would have utilised these conditions so well. But yes Asia Cup and World Cup are both in sub continent where pacers won't get that much help it'll be interesting to see Bumrah's performance there.

BCCI used Jasprit Bumrah in this series right now with the Asia Cup and then the ODI World Cup in mind for these two major tournaments, for a good performance from him, if he can get back to his best then it will be very good news for India. In the first two T20s of the Ireland series I felt Jasprit Bumrah found his line length and had enough variation with the ball and picked up wickets at crucial times. No doubt BCCI was very happy with his performance as he needed such a performance at this time. Jasprit Bumrah will definitely work for Asia Cup and World Cup after Ireland tour and fans will definitely expect more from him than other bowlers as he is one of the best fast bowlers in Indian cricket.
