Ireland vs India
Today is the 3rd match of Ireland vs India series. India won the first 2 matches. 1st match was not played fully due to rain DLS Method India won by 2 runs, India won the 2nd match by 33 runs. India's bowling and batting line is better than Ireland's. Ireland, a small team, will not easily win against a strong team like India. Today I think India will win, Ireland will be whitewashed today.

Even if they get whitewashed, it won't be a surprise to anyone. Ever since their senior players (Niall O'Brien, William Porterfield, Tim Murtagh, Boyd Rankin, Kevin O'Brien) retired, their performance have been pathetic. In the world cup qualifier tournament they couldn't even get to super-6. When they are losing matches to teams like Scotland and Netherlands, how do you expect them to win against a quality side like India? And this time, India send their second string team. Ireland still lost the first two matches and I don't have any hope for the third one.

It is definitely not going to be a surprise if India does end up winning the final match of this series as well. I mean it is Ireland against India. This is what was actually expected. It is actually going to be a surprise if the match ends the other way around, it is actually going to be surprising if India loses.

Yes, even with this second team that India is playing with, it is definitely going to be a little surprising to see them lose against Ireland. And definitely a win for India in the third match is expected. But I hope Ireland is not going to go down without a fight.

Jasprit Bumrah has made a return for the Ireland series as a captain. His comeback as captain after over a year is a big achievement. Under his captaincy, this Indian team is now leading the three-match T20I series by 2-0. This result isn't unexpected, but it provides a major confidence boost to both Bumrah and the entire team, as they're heading for the Asia Cup and the World Cup. While we can expect Ireland to put up a fight, but no need to hype because they have their limitations and are still progressing. However, it's important for Ireland to show a strong and dominant approach.
