Dhawan, Rohit give India a good start

June 27, 2018 20:43

India 28-0 (3 ovs) vs Ireland | Scorecard

Just one over for Rankin with the new ball as Stuart Thompson is called into the attack.

Dhawan nearly lobs the first ball back to the bowler as it falls just short. Dhawan finally decides to break the shackles after a slow start. He chips down the track and lofts the next ball straight down the ground for a four before taking a single.

A wide down the leg side to Rohit before he takes a single. Dhawan takes on the medium pacer yet again as he heaves the fifth ball over the leg side for the first six of the match.

Dhoni continues his assault as he walks across the stumps to the last ball before flicking it past short fine leg for a four.

17 runs from the over as India race to 28 for no loss in three overs.
