In the first match against Ireland yesterday, the Indian side won the toss but decided to opt for the ball. But say it a fortunate or unfortunate part, a downpour of rain started as the match began. The rain caused the match to be reduced to 12 overs.
At the beginning itself, it was Bhuvneshwar Kumar who took the wicket of Andy Balbirnie whereas from the other end, it was the captain of the team India who was initially hit by the shot of Paul Stirling, the next minute grabbed the batsman’s wicket when he was just 4 of 5, a beautiful catch was taken by Deepak Hooda.
