Rahul and Rohit perish; India 3 down

June 29, 2018 21:37

India 131-3 (13 ovs) vs Ireland | Scorecard

Dockrell comes back as Rahul blasts the first ball straight back over the bowler's head for his sixth six of the innings, scoring at a strike rate of over 200.

Five singles from the rest of the over, which goes for 11 runs.

Against the run of play, Ireland strike with the key wicket of Rahul, who falls to a part-timer.

Medium pacer Kevin O'Brien claims the wicket of Rahul with his very first delivery as he dismisses the opener caught and bowled.

Rahul is disappointed to fall in such a tame fashion, as he is deceived by a slower ball and ends up offering a simple return catch back to the bowler. He walks back after a sizzling innings of 70 from 36 balls, having hit six fours and three sixes.

Two balls later, he strikes again with the wicket of Rohit Sharma, who slices it straight to point to perish for a two-ball duck.

Just three runs and two wickets from the over as O'Brien checks India's charge with those two big strikes.
