India beat Ireland by seven wickets in the rain-affected tour opener to herald a winning start for new captain Hardik Pandya. The start of the match was delayed due to rain, then it became a 12-overs-a-side affair.
Riding Harry Tector's unbeaten 64 off 33, Ireland posted 108/4. India then chased down the target in 9.2 overs with Deepak Hooda carrying the bat with an unbeaten 47 off 29. Yuzvendra Chahal, who registered figures of 1/11 in three overs, won the player of the award.
The second T20I will present India with another chance to test their bench strength before they move to England. Umran Malik, who failed to impress in his debut match on Sunday, will be expected to get another game.
