IND vs IRE 2026 2nd T20: T20 World Cup champions Team India will look to avoid the ignominy of a series loss at the hands of minnows Ireland when they face off in the second game of the two-match series at the Civil Services Club ground in Belfast on Sunday. The Indian were humiliated by 34 runs in the first game on Friday – their first-ever loss at the hands of Ireland in any format of the game.
The Indians had not failed to win a T20I series in their last 12 bilateral clashes dating back to December 2023 but Ireland with their first-ever T20I win over the visitors have ensured that they will not be losing the series. Shreyas Iyer, leading the Indian side in T20I cricket for the first time, will be hoping that his maiden series as skipper doesn’t end in a series defeat.
“You can’t take anything for granted. You have to turn up and work hard and stay in the present and if you have the opportunity to squeeze the opponent, you have to do that,” Shreyas Iyer said after the loss to Ireland on Friday.
The last time that the Indians lost a T20I series was almost 3 years back – in August 2023 – when they lost 3-2 to former T20 World Cup winners West Indies in the Caribbean. Indians will be keen to avoid a similar fate ahead of the five-match T20I series against England which begins next week.
“It was pretty special that. We scrapped through the game, we had some tough periods, but we we stuck to it, we were diligent. I think India bowled really well at the start. They bowled good lengths. We found it challenging to hit good shots. It was like a Test match for a bit. I think it’s pretty special to beat the world champions at home. Credit to the lads. All the work behind the scenes from Cricket Ireland,” Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker said after the win.
The Indians still hold a massive edge over Ireland when it comes to head-to-head clashes with 8 wins as compared to only 1 loss till date.
One of many from Abhishek Sharma’s explosive knock.
