“We can beat India”: Ireland batsman Andrew Balbirnie

Written by Mohan Sharma

Ireland batsman Andrew Balbirnie thinks that his team can beat India even though they lost the three-match T20I series with a game to spare.

India have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series against Ireland with an excellent 33-run win in Dublin on Sunday.

Balbirnie praised India’s bowling attack and said that the Men in Blue have a very skilled bowling unit.

He also said that “hopefully” his team could put on a good show in the last T20I of the series.

“They are a highly skilled bowling unit. Kind of disappointed. We are playing good cricket. Hopefully can put on a better show in the last game,” Andrew Balbirnie said in a post-match presentation.

He said that they need to play slightly better to defeat India in the third T20I. Balbirnie played an outstanding knock of 72 runs off 51 balls, with 5 fours and 4 sixes.

“Hopefully, we can get over the line on Wednesday (3rd T20I). We can beat them (India) if we play better,” he added.
