India on Sunday defeated Ireland by seven wickets to lead the two-match T20I series 1-0.

India will be hoping for clear weather and improved performances from rookies like Umran Malik when it clashes with Ireland in the second and final T20 at Malahide, Dublin on Tuesday.

Ruturaj Gaikwad did not come out to bat on Sunday due to a calf niggle and he could be the only change in the playing eleven if the opener doesn't regain full fitness.
