Dublin: India’s hopes of sweeping the Twenty20 series against Ireland were dashed by rain. 3rd T20 in Dublin abandoned due to rain Earlier, Team India had won the first two T20Is. The third Twenty20 was supposed to start at 7.30 IST today. But before even the toss was allowed to be played, it rained heavily in Dublin. India-Ireland 3rd T20 abandoned, all pre-Asia Cup matches for Team India are over.
Having lost the first two T20Is, Ireland were hoping to win at least one match and save their honour. But those desires were also stolen by the rain. India won the first Twenty20 under rain rule by 2 runs and the second by 33 runs. India won the series 2-0.
Retort to Sanju
The abandonment of the third T20 against Ireland was a heavy blow for the Malayali wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson. Not named in the 17-man squad for the Asia Cup, the third T20I against Ireland was Sanju’s last chance to shine before the Cricket World Cup. Sanju will no longer compete in the Indian jersey before the announcement of the Indian team for the World Cup. The reason is that Sanju is unlikely to get a chance in the Asia Cup as he is included as a reserve player. Had he got a chance to play a good innings today, Sanju could have hoped for the World Cup team at least.
