The match in Dublin saw Indian batters being right on the money but it was certainly the bowling department of the visitors that failed to meet expectations.

India vs Ireland T20s: Meet Harry Tector, the Irish batsman who took Indian bowlers apart

Ireland went on to lose the game, Tector did earn a lot of praise for his heroics with the bat. This, of course, comes at a time when the Irish captain Andrew Balbirnie, in an interview to the Times of India, made it clear that playing in the IPL is a huge ambition for all Irish cricketers playing T20 cricket. And it's another reminder, of course, of the T20 hitting capabilities that exist in the ranks of the emerging cricket nations.
