Jai Moondra strikes twice vs Samson & Abhishek

Since his debut during the opening T20I of the two-match series against India, the Rajasthan-born Ireland pacer, Jai Moondra, has created enough problems for his homeland. During the second T20I at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast, he sent back both the Indian openers for golden ducks in the same over.

The pressure had been massive on the Indian side, who lost the first T20I of the series and found themselves at a spot of bother in the second during the 155-run chase. The Shreyas Iyer-led side, who are the current T20 World champions, continue to struggle.

Jai Moondra strikes twice in one over — Sanju Samson out first ball, Abhishek Sharma follows

On the very first ball of the defense, Moondra sent back the Indian opener, Sanju Samson, for a golden duck. It was a length delivery that curled back in, straightened, and caught the right-handed batter in the crease. Samson tried to flick and missed as the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger.

Two balls later, Moondra got the wicket of the other opener, Abhishek Sharma, for another golden duck. The left-handed batter pulled the short ball but failed to get the required elevation. The third man, Matthew Hollard, ran forward and turned 360 degrees to grab the catch.

That was the very first time in T20Is that both Indian openers fell for golden ducks in the same innings. This is the third time Indian openers got ducks in the same innings.

Moondra continued the same success with the wicket of Shreyas Iyer for 10 runs. It was a good length delivery angling away in the channel outside off stump as the right-handed batter looked to force it through the off-side and got a thick-edge that deflected onto hit the middle and off stump.

India left reeling early in the chase of Ireland's fighting 154/8 after Harry Tector's fifty

Ireland posted a decent score of 154 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs as Harry Tector, on his 100th T20I, smashed 53 runs off 47 balls at a strike rate of 112.77, thanks to his five boundaries and one six. Benjamin Calitz slammed 37 runs in 23 balls at a strike rate of 160.87, shouldering on three boundaries and two sixes.

Prince Yadav ended with figures of 3/22 in his four overs while Shivam Dube had decent figures of 2/25 in three overs.

India, during the chase, lost half of their side for just 74 runs. They soon were reduced to 120/7, as the visitors kept playing some reckless shots and were inconsistent with their plans.
