With two back-to-back wins in a row, India have already sealed the ongoing three-match series against Ireland. In the final match, they would aim to play a fearless brand of cricket and try a couple of new things as players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma are yet to join the party. On the other hand, Ireland have a lot of room for improvement. Their batting has been pretty average and that is one area that the team would be desperate to improve.
Meanwhile, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube were sensational in the second match, with the prior winning his first Player of the Match award. With the ball, both Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna have played some brilliant cricket so far and courtesy of the same, they have made it to India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup.
Irish opener Andrew Balbirnie was brilliant in the last match but unfortunately, no other batter supported him well in the middle. Barry McCarthy has been a force to reckon with and will be crucial for the team in the final match of the series.
Pitch and conditions:
The surface at The Village helps the batters. Bowling first will be ideal and anything over 175 runs will be a good total in Dublin.
Probable Playing XI For IRE vs IND:
Ireland
Ireland are unexpected to make any changes in the playing XI. They would hope the batters to put up a better show while the bowlers would aim to do well in the middle overs.
