IND vs IRE 3rd T20I: India will be looking to complete a clean sweep against Ireland when the two teams meet in the third and final T20I at Malahide on Wednesday.
The visitors have already won the first two matches of the series and will be confident of continuing their dominance.
India’s batting has been in good form, with openers Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad both scoring centuries in the first two matches.
The middle order has also been solid, with Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya both contributing valuable runs.
The bowlers have also been impressive, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Ireland, on the other hand, have been struggling in the series. They have been unable to put up a big score in either of the first two matches, and their bowlers have been taken apart by the Indian batsmen.
The only bright spot for Ireland has been the form of Paul Stirling, who has scored 86 runs in the series.
However, Stirling will need more support from his teammates if Ireland are to avoid a whitewash.
The match is scheduled to start at 9:00 PM IST.
