After a disappointing series loss against the West Indies, India’s young brigade travels to Ireland for an entertaining three-game T20I series.

The pitch at the Village in Dublin is often considered a batting paradise where bowlers are generally under the pump with the ground’s smallish dimensions. But in the right conditions, fast bowlers can also find some help while spinners are generally crucial in the middle overs on this surface.
Team Analysis:
Ireland:
Over the last few years, Ireland has grown into one of the most exciting teams full of young players and veteran leaders.

With quality batters like Paul Stirling, Harry Tector and Curtis Campher the inexperienced Indian bowling could concede a lot of runs. While the bowling attack led by Joshua Little has the ability to make early in-roads in a young batting lineup.
