Irish captain Gary Wilson says his team would like to stage an 'upset' over India, before the start of the first T20 match, but hosts aren't shine on his statement. If they want to counter the strong Indian side which came here after the playing in IPL, they would require a monumental effort from there hole squad. Indian cricket team take this series as their tune-up before the much arduous challenge on the England tour.
After taking 1-0 lead, now India looking to test her bench strength before the challenging tour of England. May be India's best T20 bowler Jusprit Bumrah will miss the second T20 because he hurt himself on his left hand.

So may be India will go with some changes in their playing XI, with like Umesh Yadav, Siddanth Kaul, KL Tahul and Dinesh Karthik whom not played in last game, to give them chance to play last T20.
