Tejas: "This is simple and straight forward situation Irland would love.. Just come and hit. Every batsman just keep doing it on a batting pitch !! i wish a tough contest that goes till last over !!"

Clarification: It appears like the target has officially been changed to 226 from 228. That's because at 19.1, Hardik did not take any run even though it was reported initially that he had.

6.12pm Five wickets in the last three overs, but India will be delighted with this total, more so because of who the architects were. Deepak Hooda became the fourth Indian man to hit a T20I century, his 104 being one of the standout T20I knocks in India colours. Sanju Samson was an able deputy in the partnership offering a steadier hand for most of the innings but accelerated to his personal T20I high of 77. Their 176-run partnership is the highest for India, with a total of 10 sixes and 18 fours between them. Don't forget the 30 runs in 14 balls from Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar - they were both off the blocks rather quickly.

Tidy bowling at the end from Mark Adair, Josh Little and Craig Young too, sharing seven wickets between them.

BeardGuy: "This is certainly India's best T20I XI so far as far as the batters and allrounders are concerned. I don't see how anchors like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or even Ruturaj Gaikwad find a place in a lineup as explosive as this one."
