Ireland vs India 2023, 1st T20I – Match Prediction

After their T20I series loss against the West Indies, an all-together different Indian outfit will take on Ireland in the first T20I at the Village, Dublin on Friday. India’s gun fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not only return to the action but also he will lead the team and all eyes will be on his fitness ahead of the all-important Asia Cup and the World Cup.

India has been consistently giving chances to young players and they will back the same strategy of throwing the youngsters into the mix. Tilak Varma had caught the eyeballs in the recent series against the West Indies and he will be looking to continue the good show.

Rookie players like Rinku Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shahbaz Ahmed, Jitesh Sharma, Prasidh Krishna, Ravi Bishnoi will look to grab their chances in the upcoming series.

All these youngsters have received their opportunities on the back of impressive performances in the IPL and they will be looking to hit the ground running on the top level.

On the other hand, Ireland’s skipper Paul Stirling will look to get the best out of his players. Players like Andrew Balbirnie, Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Curtis Campher, and Josh Little will hold the key for the home team and they will be looking to come out with their absolute best.
