IRE vs IND Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the IRE vs IND head-to-head contest.

India to score over 26.5 runs before 1st dismissal

Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad are certain of opening the batting for India in the first Test against Ireland. Ishan Kishan got back his mojo during the the recently-concluded 5-match T20I series against South Africa. He was the only batsman to score over 200 runs in the series. Kishan's average strike-rate at the end of the series was a staggering 150.36 and his average read an impressive 41.20. Gaikwad struggled with just 96 runs at 19.20 in five matches. However, the talented Maharashtra batsman is expected to get back his mojo against an inexperienced Ireland bowling unit. Both the batter have a knack of scoring quick runs and one bad over from Ireland can see them score more than 27 runs without losing any wicket. Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad had scored over 350 runs each in the IPL 2022. India, during their last tour of Ireland in England, had scored 160 and 22 runs before the fall of the first wicket. In the last five T20Is, India have lost their first wicket for scores of - 20, 13, 97, 3 and 57. India might have failed thrice to score over 27 runs before dismissal one, but the record looks set to change against an inexperienced Ireland side. If you feel the same, head over to Pari Match and grab the odds of 1.87 for India to score over 26.5 runs before dismissal one from the IRE vs IND head-to-head encounter.

IRE vs IND Player Bet:

Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya are my top two player betting tips for the IRE vs IND 1st T20I. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Ishan Kishan to score high

Ishan Kishan scored 206 runs at an average of 41.20 in the recently-concluded 5-match T20I series against South Africa. No other batter in the series could score more than 118 runs in the series. Ishan Kishan showed a lot of character and class to score consistently on some difficult batting surfaces. He registered scores of 76, 34, 54, 27 and 15 in the five matches. Earlier in the IPL 2022, Ishan Kishan emerged as the top run-scorer for the Mumbai Indians. The 23-year-old scored 418 runs in 14 matches at an average of 32.15. Overall, the Bihar-born has scored 495 runs at an average of 35.35 in 15 T20Is. He has hit four fifties in the format at the international level. With the T20 World Cup approaching, Ishan Kishan would give it his all to score high and keep himself in the reckoning for the ICC event. The conditions will be new for Ishan Kishan but his experience of playing in the IPL and India, will be a lot higher than any of the Ireland bowlers up against him. If you feel the same, proceed to Pari Match and keep an eye on Ishan Kishan from the IRE vs IND head-to-head encounter.

Hardik Pandya to score high

Hardik Pandya has made his India comeback in some style. Just his second series after the comeback and he will be seen leading the Men in Blue in Ireland. In the five matches against South Africa, Pandya was at his brutal best, scoring 117 runs in five matches at an average of 58.50 and strike rate of 153.94. He played an instrumental role in firing India to big totals. In the preceding IPL 2022, he led Gujarat Titans (GT) to a title win in their very first attempt. The 28-year-old led from the front and scored 487 runs at an average of 44.27. He showed tremendous maturity while batting at number four position. Overall, he was the fourth-highest run-scorer in the series. He also picked 10 wickets for his team. Hardik Pandya is in red hot form and is also riding high on confidence. During the second match of the 2018 tour of Ireland, he had smoked 32 not out runs off just nine balls in the second T20I. The innings is still India's third fastest in the shortest format of the game. We expect Hardik Pandya, who has played 59 T20Is and scored 670 runs, to go big against Ireland. If you feel the same, proceed to Pari Match and keep an eye on Hardik Pandya from the IRE vs IND head-to-head encounter.
