IRE vs IND 2nd T20I, Cricket Tips: Team India were stunned and embarrassed in the first T20I in Belfast by an injury-hit Ireland. That helped the hosts to record a historic maiden win over the three-time world champions. Shreyas Iyer didn't have a good captaincy start, and there were some questions raised over India's selection and combination.

India will be desperate to bounce back and make it 1-1 to avoid even bigger embarrassment of losing the series. Notably, they have not lost a T20I series in the last two years. Vaibhav Suryavanshi didn't have a chance, and he might have to wait a little more. Ireland will be confident and will look to record a memorable series win.
