Hello and welcome to Sportstar's coverage of the first T20I between India and Ireland from Dublin. That's it for today folks. Looking forward to the next and last game of this series on Tuesday. Josh Little is back and Hooda drives him nonchalantly for a boundary. Just two more needed. And one more drive down the off side. Hooda seals the deal. An extremely comfortable chase for India with 16 balls to spare. Hooda ends on 47, missing out on a well deserving half-centruy. 103/3 from 9 overs. Just six more runs needed. Dinesh Karthik out in the middle. Probably the easiest finishing job for DK this year. Olphert has been convincing with the ball after that first-ball six. But Dinesh Karthik decides to put a bit of a stain on it. Glorious cut through the covers for a boundary. Josh Little back into the attack. Hooda cuts him away with ease for four. Does one better two balls later as he ramps one over the keeper for one more four. It is all too easy for the Indian side at this moment. It is Hardik's turn now. Smashes a six over long off. Little thinks he got his man. Raps Pandya in his back pad. Umpire gives it in favour of the bowler and Pandya refers it straight away. But it goes in Ireland's favour. A little too late it seems. 94/3 after 8 78/2 after 7. Just 31 needed from 30 balls Conor Olphert comes in and Deepak Hooda welcomes him with a flick for a six . Not the way he must have imagined his first ever ball on his debut. But Olphert has redeemed himself since, beating ...
