IRE vs IND Pitch Report:
The surface at the Malahide Cricket Club in Dublin has an inclination for the batters. However, the pacers will be able to extract some bounce and movement early on in the contest. That said, the batters will dominate most of the game. Either skipper winning the toss will fancy bowling first in order to have a target in mind.

Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter of the match
Yashasvi Jaiswal – (IND)
In his last two appearances, Jaiswal failed to display his batting exploits as he could only manage to compile underwhelming scores of 24 and 18 runs, respectively. The southpaw will be eager to get the big runs for his side in the upcoming match and keep his side ahead in the contest.
Probable best bowler of the match
Ravi Bishnoi – (IND)
Getting two scalps in his previous outing, Ravi Bishnoi was fairly impactful with the ball which helped India clinch the second T20I. However, he gave away 37 runs in his four overs and will look for an improved outing in terms of maintaining a solid economy in the next game.
