Jasprit Bumrah destroys Ireland with a masterful display of death bowling in the second T20I :
As the most economical bowler from the Indian side, Bumrah finished with a total of 15 runs allowed in the whole of his allotted overs and two wickets.
Despite playing his first series after a protracted injury break, Jasprit Bumrah has been in outstanding form. The Indian pacer made a statement straight away, striking after just two deliveries, and on Sunday, the pacer once again made an impression, but this time in the last overs.
In the second Twenty20 International between India and Ireland in Dublin, which the Men in Blue won by 33 runs, Bumrah bowled the 17th and 20th overs. In both of his overs, he was able to pick up a wicket, with the 20th being a wicketless over. In the 17th, four singles were hit.
Bumrah had such dominance, particularly in the last over, that Mark Adair, who was facing him, was overheard on the stump mic praising a delivery in between the overs. Right before his wicket, he attempted to play the ball beyond the line but was unsuccessful due to Bumrah’s pace fluctuation. After being caught by Tilak Varma at deep mid-wicket for 23(15), he was subsequently out on the very next ball.

India seal series
To win the three-match series, the Indian team under Jasprit Bumrah delivered a solid all-around effort. India was asked to bat first and amassed a daunting 185/5 in 20 overs. India’s batsmen were topped by Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored 58 runs off 43 balls. After India was reduced to 34/2 in 4.1 overs, he and Sanju Samson had a vital 71-run partnership. Tilak Varma continued to go without a wicket in Ireland as Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 18 from 11 balls.
In the previous game, Varma was out for a golden duck, and on Sunday, he could only manage one out of two balls. Samson was dismissed by Benjamin White for 40 (26), and Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube then made dramatic cameo appearances.
Ireland’s answer got off to a dreadful start that was nearly identical to India’s. In his first over, Prasidh Krishna delivered two blows, and in the last over of the powerplay, Ravi Bishnoi added a third. No other Irish hitters could resist the Indian bowling assault, which was led by the acting captain Bumrah, with the exception of Andrew Balbirnie, who smashed 72 off 51 balls. Ireland could only muster 152/8 in 20 overs thanks in part to the two wickets apiece that Krishna and Bishnoi ended with.
