India vs Ireland Live Score: Game, Set, Match
VICTORY!
Rishabh Pant hits the winning shot, and dear me, it was a shot of real audacity. A reverse scoop against Barry McCarthy flies all the way past the ropes for a six.
India have beaten Ireland by 8 wickets.
Hardik Pandya picked up three wickets, Rohit Sharma scored a half-century, but the Player of the Match award is given to Jasprit Bumrah for his incredible numbers of 3-1-6-2.
Up next is the quintessentially epochal, perennially epic clash against Pakistan. It will be played at the same stadium on Sunday, 9 June, and we will bring you all live updates again.
Till then, good night. Stay hydrated!
India vs Ireland Live Score: SKY Out
WICKET!
Suryakumar Yadav has to depart barely a few minutes after being asked to finish the job. Goes for a slog-sweep against leg-spinner Benjamin White but could not find the right connection. Instead, he ended up finding George Dockreel at deep mid-wicket.
India: 91/2 after 12 overs.
India vs Ireland Live Score: Rohit Sharma Retired Out
Oh, lord! Rohit Sharma is leaving the field. Retired hurt. He was struck on the right elbow by a Joshua Little delivery a while ago. Indian fans will hope this is more a precautionary measure than a worrying sign.
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant is struck on the elbow by Little again, but he remains unscathed. In fact, he struck a six just a couple of deliveries later.
India: 85/1 in 11 overs.
India vs Ireland Live Score: Half-Century For Rohit
FIFTY!
Rohit Sharma has been lucky at times, but he has also been convincing when he has got going. On a pitch that is extremely difficult to bat on, the Indian captain has somehow managed to score a half-century. The last two overs produced 24 runs.
India: 76/1 after 10 overs.
