22:57 (IST)
That brings us to the end of our coverage of Match 1 of India's tour of Ireland, with the highlight of the day being Jasprit Bumrah's sensational comeback after an year-long absence, removing Andy Balbirnie and Lorcan Tucker in his very first over!
There were some areas of concern for the Indians today, especially pacers Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna leaking runs aplenty in the second half of the Irish innings (with the hosts collecting 53 runs in the last five overs). Arshdeep went for 22 runs in the final over of the innings, and will hope to come out stronger when the two sides lock horns at the same venue two days later.
Additionally, the solid knocks from Barry McCarthy (51 not out) and Curtis Campher (39) as well as Craig Young's two wickets in as many deliveries will have given the home team the belief that they can take the three-match series to a decider when they face Bumrah and Co on Sunday.
Do join us on the day after tomorrow for our coverage of the second T20I. For now, this is Amit signing off, bidding you all a good night!

JUST IN: No further play is possible in Malahide due to incessant rain, as a result of which India are declared winners by two runs (DLS method). The Jasprit Bumrah-led side go 1-0 up in the three-match series!
22:13 (IST)
Not looking too good in Malahide at the moment, especially for Ireland
Absolutely chucking it down now. Given the rain radar, that’ll probably be that. India ahead by 2 on DL pic.twitter.com/w2SBiS5xsa

India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 6.5 overs,India 47/2 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 18 , Sanju Samson 1)
Rain halts play at Malahide! The drizzle starts getting heavier after Craig Young removes Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma in successive deliveries, and the umpires decide to call the players back to their respective dressing rooms with one delivery left to be bowled in Young's first over. India, meanwhile, are two runs ahead of the par score after 6.5 overs, and will be sitting relaxed in their dressing room knowing they'll go 1-0 in the series today should rain prevent any further play.
21:57 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
OUT! Two wickets in two balls for Craig Young! Could this be the turning point for the Irishmen in their quest to conquer the mighty Indians! Tilak Varma, who had been in roaring form in the T20Is against West Indies, departs for a golden duck after tickling a short-of-length ball aimed at his body to offer keeper Lorcan Tucker a simple catch. IND 46/2
Varma c Tucker b Young 0(1)

India vs Ireland LIVE Score
OUT! Jaiswal perishes right after powerplay, getting a thick top-edge that results in a simple catch for skipper Paul Stirling close to the 22-yard strip as Craig Young strikes in his very first over. A much-needed breakthrough for the Irishmen to stay alive in the game! IND 46/1

India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 6 overs,India 45/0 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 24 , Ruturaj Gaikwad 18)
FOUR! Jaiswal shuffles to his left, making room to manufacture a crisp drive through the covers off a full delivery from Little that's angling into the middle stump. SIX! Jaiswal ends the powerplay with his first maximum, pulling a short-of-length ball over deep backward square leg! India are 45 for no loss at the end of the fielding restrictions! And the opening partnership have ensured India are ahead on the par score should rain halt proceedings and bring the match to a premature end later.

21:41 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 4 overs,India 22/0 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 12 , Ruturaj Gaikwad 9)
FOUR! A welcome boundary for the Indians after a bit of a slowdown in the previous two overs. Full delivery from Little outside off, Gaikwad brings out an exquisite cover drive to collect his first boundary.

India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 2 overs,India 13/0 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 10 , Ruturaj Gaikwad 2)
Dramatic first over from Joshua Little, who earlier this year represented the Gujarat Titans to become the first Irishman to play in the Indian Premier League. Huge mix-up between Jaiswal and Gaikwad in the third delivery with both batters stranded at the non-striker's end. And yet the hosts manage to fluff the golden opportunity to get an early breakthrough — not once, but twice! Later in this over, Ireland decide to use a review after an unsuccessful caugh-behind appeal against Jaiswal, and end up wasting it after replays show daylight between bat and ball. Little, though, does keep things tidy, with just three coming from the over including a leg bye.
21:29 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 1 over,India 10/0 ( Yashasvi Jaiswal 10 , Ruturaj Gaikwad 0)

Jaiswal collects another boundary two balls later, this time driving a fuller delivery through the covers. Before the boundaries, he opened the team's account with a brace after slapping the ball over the bowler's outstretched hand. 10 off the first over of the innings.
21:22 (IST)

Clobbers the ball over long on in the penultimate ball before going for an inside-out loft over the extra cover fence off the free hit in the final delivery after a waist-high no-ball from the left-arm pacer. Brings up the milestone in just 33 balls, collecting four maximums and as many fours along the way!
Arshdeep ends up bleeding 22 runs in the final over as Ireland set India 140 to win in the tour opener!

BOWLED! Arshdeep Singh with the breakthrough! Cleans up Curtis Campher with a yorker as the all-rounder departs after a well-made 39 that spearheaded an Irish recovery in the middle overs.

20:49 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 16 overs,Ireland 99/6 ( Curtis Campher 36 , Barry McCarthy 17)
FOUR! SIX! A serious statement of intent from Campher against one of the world's premier fast bowlers! Smacks a full toss from Bumrah over the extra cover region to collect his third boundary before getting on the backfoot and smashing a short--of-length ball over the cow corner fence for his first six! Expensive over from Bumrah after bringing himself back in the 16th over, going for 13. Current partnership worth 40 at the moment.
20:46 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
FOUR! Pulled away authoritatively over the midwicket region by McCarthy off Krishna's bowling! Six runs off Krishna's third over, with McCarthy and Campher collecting a boundary each besides the boundary. IRE 86/6 after 15
20:42 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 14 overs,Ireland 80/6 ( Curtis Campher 24 , Barry McCarthy 11)
FOUR! A welcome boundary for Curtis Campher, the second of his innings with the all-rounder ramping the length ball over short fine. Bumrah gives the ball a chase from short fine, with Bishnoi also running in from long leg. The two nearly collide, and are ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the boundary. Campher keeps the strike with a single off the final delivery.
20:36 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 13 overs,Ireland 72/6 ( Curtis Campher 18 , Barry McCarthy 9)

20:34 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
SIX! Monster hit down the ground by Barry McCarthy off Ravi Bishnoi's bowling as Ireland collect their first six after 12 overs! What's more, the ball goes out of the park and disappears somewhere outside, resulting in the umpires having to bring out another ball. IRE 71/6
20:31 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 12 overs,Ireland 63/6 ( Curtis Campher 17 , Barry McCarthy 1)
Spin from both ends for now with Sundar continuing from the other end. Ireland, meanwhile, are into the tail now with seamer Barry McCarthy joining Campher at the crease.
20:29 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
OUT! Good review by the Indians following an unsuccessful LBW appeal by Ravi Bishnoi against Mark Adair. The Men in Blue end up getting three reds on HawkEye and break the sixth wicket stand. Adair had come a long way down the crease looking to launch the ball down the ground, which led to the umpire turning the appeal down. Ireland have now lost six with less than 60 on board. IRE 59/6
Adair LBW Bishnoi 16(16)
20:23 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 10 overs,Ireland 57/5 ( Curtis Campher 13 , Mark Adair 15)
Washington Sundar becomes the sixth bowler to be introduced into the attack by the Indians. Seven off the off-spinner's over including a brace to Adair in the penultimate delivery, getting the extra run thanks to a misfield by Bumrah at cover. Ireland are going at a little over five-an-over at the halfway stage, and will need a major boost in their scoring rate in the second half if they are to challenge the Indians today. Steady partnership between Campher and Adair so far that will have come as good news for the hosts.
20:16 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 9 overs,Ireland 50/5 ( Curtis Campher 11 , Mark Adair 10)
FOUR! Short and wide from Shivam Dube, the fifth bowler to be introduced inside nine overs by the visitors, and Adair responds with a cracking cut over point! That could very well be the shot of the day so far. Adair collects a single next ball to keep the strike and bring up the 50 for the Irishmen!
20:14 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 8 overs,Ireland 44/5 ( Curtis Campher 10 , Mark Adair 5)
Mark Adair gets off the mark with a boundary off his second delivery, getting a thick top-edge over the keeper's head while looking to pull a short ball from Prasidh. A relatively expensive over from Bishnoi next up with nine coming off it, including a first boundary of the innings for Curtis Campher, who reverse sweeps a googly and sends it over backward point.
20:10 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
OUT! Another one bites the dust! Two wickets for Prasidh Krishna in as many overs! Gets a thick leading edge while looking to cut a back-of-length delivery from the Rajasthan Royals pacer that is angling in, and ends up offering Ruturaj Gaikwad a sitter at cover. IRE 31/5
Dockrell c Gaikwad b Krishna 1(3)
20:06 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 6 overs,Ireland 30/4 ( Curtis Campher 1 , George Dockrell 1)
Three runs from Ravi Bishnoi's first over of the day, including a wide in the final delivery, along with the wicket of Paul Stirling as Ireland reach 30/4 at the end of a turbulent powerplay. They will need a solid partnership from Curtish Campher and George Dockrell to crawl out of the hole that they find themselves in at the moment, and post a competitive target on the board.
20:05 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
BOWLED! It's a procession out there at The Village at the moment, with Ireland skipper Paul Stirling too making the slow march back to the pavilion after getting bamboozled by a wrong 'un from Ravi Bishnoi! Stirling looks to push this towards the covers but ends up getting completely beaten. IRE 27/4
Stirling b Bishnoi 11(11)

India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 5 overs,Ireland 27/3 ( Paul Stirling (C) 11 , Curtis Campher 0)
OUT! Another bowler collects a wicket in his first over after a year-long absence! It was Bumrah in the first over, and Prasidh in the fifth! Tector was looking to ramp the short delivery from Prasidh over third man, but hardly got any power on it, resulting in a sitter for Tilak Varma at backward point. IRE 27/3
Tector c Varma b Krishna 9(16)

India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 4 overs,Ireland 22/2 ( Paul Stirling (C) 7 , Harry Tector 8)
Single each to skipper Stirling and Tector at the start of Arshdeep's second over. Wide called by the umpire two balls later after Arshdeep pitches one too short to Stirling. FOUR! First boundary for the Irish skipper as Stirling shuffles to his right after heaves a length ball on off towards the square leg fence! Eight off the fourth over.
19:52 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 3 overs,Ireland 13/2 ( Paul Stirling (C) 1 , Harry Tector 7)

19:51 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
FOUR! Another Bumrah over that starts with a boundary! Tector stands tall and pulls a short delivery towards the square leg fence. IRE 11/2
19:46 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
After 2 overs,Ireland 7/2 ( Paul Stirling (C) 1 , Harry Tector 1)
Arshdeep Singh steams in from the other end after an excellent first over from Jasprit Bumrah, and he too starts off on a wayward note with a wide. The left-arm pacer though, keeps things tidy in the remaining deliveries, conceding just two singles in six deliveries. Arshdeep notices Tector advancing down the track in the penultimate delivery and catches him off-guard with a searing bouncer.
19:41 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
OUT! Bumrah's struck twice now in his very first over after a year-long absence, with Lorcan Tucker perishing for a duck, lobbing the ball over to keeper Sanju Samson while attempting a scoop shot. Tucker was in two minds while playing the shot, and as a result hardly got any power on the shot. IRE 4/2
Tucker c Samson b Bumrah 0(3)
19:39 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
BOWLED! A boundary and a wicket to start off India's tour of Ireland! Bumrah's on target this time as he bowls an inswinger along the off-stump, with Balbirnie chopping the ball onto the stumps while looking to push it towards the covers. IRE 4/1
Balbirnie b Bumrah 4(2)
19:37 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
FOUR! Top start for the Irish team as Andy Balbirnie tucks a length ball going down leg towards the square leg fence. Jasprit Bumrah's first ball after the year-long absence is a loosener, and is appropriately punished. IRE 4/0
19:34 (IST)
India vs Ireland LIVE Score
The two teams line up for their respective national anthems, with skipper Paul Stirling and ex-captain Andy Balbirnie staying back to open the Irish innings after the Indians opt to bat. India skipper Jasprit Bumrah gears up to bowl his first ball in a year in the blue jersey.

Rohan Gavaskar analyses the Malahide pitch ahead of start of play

TOSS: India win the toss, and stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah opts to field
18:51 (IST)
In a video shared by BCCI on X, formerly Twitter, Jasprit Bumrah was seen bowling at full tilt in the nets in Ireland ahead of the three-T20I series. The video instantly went viral on social media, and came across as great news for supporters of the Men in Blue.
Bumrah rattled a right-hand batter with a whizzing bouncer, forcing him to duck under the ball. He zoomed in on the toes of a left-handed batsman with a spot-on yorker, eliciting some appreciative nods from others at India nets
18:45 (IST)
However nondescript India's tour of Ireland may be, it could end up having a say in shaping Indian cricket down the road. India, after all, will be travelling with the players who are seen as hopefuls for next year’s T20 World Cup that takes place in the Caribbean and the United States.
Much like the recent T20I series against the West Indies, the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland could very well be an audition of sorts.
Preview: Jasprit Bumrah's return, audition of IPL stars in focus in three-match T20I series
18:37 (IST)
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the first T20I between India and Ireland at The Village in Malahide near the Irish capital of Dublin on Friday. The game that marks pace spearhead and stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah's return to international cricket faces the possibility of a washout.
India vs Ireland, 1st T20I in Dublin Preview: Jasprit Bumrah will be making his long-awaited return to action after a year-long absence in the first of three T20Is between India and Ireland in Dublin on Friday.
Bumrah will not only be bowling again in international cricket for the first time since the home series against Australia last September, he has also been named captain of a second-string Indian squad that is missing a number of first-team players, including regular skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Bumrah, who had missed key events such as last year’s Asia Cup and T20 World Cup as well as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Indian Premier League and the World Test Championship final this year, will be hoping to get his old rhythm back ahead of the Asia Cup and the ICC World Cup.
Ireland too will be considering the India series the starting point for next year’s T20 World Cup that will be jointly hosted by the West Indies and the USA. Ireland qualified for the mega event after finishing in the top two alongside Scotland in the European Qualifier.
Bumrah’s return to action, as well as debuts of promising youngsters including Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma, could be delayed with rain likely to make an appearance on Friday and hold up play at the Malahide Cricket Club Ground.
Squads:
India: Jasprit Bumrah (c), Ruturaj Gaikwad (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson (wk), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shivam Dube, W Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan.
Ireland: Paul Stirling (captain), Andrew Balbirnie, Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Fionn Hand, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Theo van Woerkom, Ben White, Craig Young.
