India's bowling unit is all set to face a tough challenge against a high-on-confidence Ireland side in the upcoming second T20I of the bilateral series at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast.
After a historic and convincing maiden T20I victory over the reigning world champions on Friday, the host team, Ireland, has an unprecedented opportunity to script history by sealing the series. Meanwhile, India finds itself in a wounded position under new captain Shreyas Iyer, who became the fourth Indian skipper to lose his maiden T20I in charge. The visitors will look to draw inspiration from their 2024 campaign in Zimbabwe, where they bounced back from an opening loss to claim a dominant series win, though the short two-match window in Ireland leaves no room for further errors before they head to England.
