Rahul's attack puts India in control

June 29, 2018 21:12

India 83-1 (8 ovs) vs Ireland | Scorecard

Chase beats Raina with one that moves away before he attempts another wild heave but doesn't make proper connection.

Raina then chips down the track and plays a forceful shot through the midwicket region for a four followed by two singles as India race to 57 for one in six overs.

Left-arm spinner George Dockrell comes into the attack, to bowl the seventh over. He makes a tidy start as Raina and Rahul pick three singles each to get six runs from the spinner's first over.

Spin from both ends as Simi Singh comes back for his second spell. Rahul takes a couple of steps down and lofts the off-spinner over long-on for a six.

Simi bowls a leg side wide before Rahul slog sweeps the next ball over midwicket for another six.

An under pressure Simi then bowls a full toss which Rahul despatches through midwicket for a four and then takes a single through the same region. Another single to Raina off the last ball as Simi concedes 20 runs in his second over.

Rahul has smashed his way to 43 from 23 balls, while Raina has stroked 26 from 17 balls as India race to 83 for one in eight overs.
