Dhawan, Rohit give India a quickfire start

June 27, 2018 20:56

India 59-0 (6 ovs) vs Ireland | Scorecard

Change of ends for Rankin as Rohit joins the party. The right-hander launches the second ball over the off-side for a four and three balls later clips one on the pads fine on the leg side for another boundary before keeping strike with one from the last ball.

Medium pacer Kevin O'Brien comes into the attack. Dhawan continues his rampaging start as he again chips down and smashes it over long-off for a six.

In the same over, Rohit slaps a short wide delivery through the off-side for a four before taking one from the last ball as India race past the 50-run mark, after five overs.

Pacer Chase comes back into the attack. Dhawan comes down the track again but Chase bowls a quick bouncer and hits the India opener on the helmet as he misses the pull.

Dhawan miscues a slower ball as Simi Singh makes a good effort running back on the off-side but is unable to reach the ball.

Dhawan again comes down and launches the fast bowler for a straight six as India race to 59 for no loss in six overs, with Dhawan on 30 from 15 balls and Rohit on 24 from 21 balls.
