The Indian cricket team locked horns with the Ireland team for the first T20I of the 2-match series in Dublin on Wednesday and after winning the toss, the Irish skipper Gary Wilson elected to bowl, reasoning that in this venue its difficult for the teams to defend the total. However, the Indian scoreline is suggesting that Wilson’s decision became all wrong as the Indian openers gave a dream starts by registering an opening partnership of 150+.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan opened the innings for India and they amassed 59 runs in the powerplay. They went on to make the partnership of 160 runs, its India’s second highest partnership for any wicket.

India finished the innings with 208/5 with Sharma missing the chance to score his third T20I century as he was clean bowled by Chase in the final over.

Coming in to chase total Ireland was down to 43/1 in the powerplay. However, in the seventh over of the game, Yuzvendra Chahal dismissed Balbirnie with the help of one of the easiest stumpings of MS Dhoni. Chahal hanged the ball up outside off, it dips, creating distance between the bat and the pitch again. The ball also breaks away further, well past the reach of the Balbirnie, who was coming down the track and Mahi affected a simple stumping.

Here is the video of the dismissal:
