India 20-0 (2 ovs) vs Ireland | Scorecard

The wicket has a slight greenish tinge but Ireland opt to open with off-spinner Simi Singh. While India have a completely new opening pair in Virat Kohli and KL Rahul.

Rahul clips the second ball to deep midwicket for a single to get off the mark and Kohli punches the next to long-on for one.

Rahul wastes no time as he comes down the track and lofts Simi straight back over his head for a four.

The fourth ball is down the leg side as Rahul attempts the sweep but misses before he plays the inside out lofted shot over the covers for another boundary.

He keeps strike with a single from the last ball on the leg side as 12 come from the first over.

Pacer Boyd Rankin from the other end. He starts with a full delivery which Rahul taps on the leg side for one.

Kohli turns the third ball through midwicket for two runs before he heaves the next to the same region and despite not making good connection he is able to beat the man at mid-on to get a four.

Kohli looks to defend the next ball which is short as he gets a leading edge but it falls short of the fielders on the off-side.

The India captain drives the last ball on the up past point for a single as the fielder half stops it.
