Ireland stunned T20 world champions India with a landmark 34-run win in the series opener in Belfast. This is the first time that the Irish team beat Men in Blue.
India fell well short of the target of 183, as they were dismissed for 148 with seven balls to spare.
Abhishek Sharma top-scored for the visitors with 49, but no other India batter made more than Shivam Dube’s 25.
Ireland debutant Matt Hollard and left-arm spinner Matthew Humphreys did the bulk of the damage as Ireland’s men secured their first-ever win over India in any format.
Earlier, Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker led from the front with 50, while Gareth Delany made 49 in the hosts’ total of 182 for 9 in their 20 overs.
