New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell created a world record on Sunday during their first ODI of the three-match series in Dublin. Needing 20 off the final over after coming to chase 301, Bracewell smashed 4, 4, 6, 4, 6 off the first five balls, bowled by Craig Young, to get the job done.

Sanju Samson has admitted that Deepak Hooda's aggressive batting throughout the innings on Tuesday during India's second T20I versus Ireland helped him to bat with ease. Samson scored 77 off 42 balls after coming to open, while Hooda hit 104 off 57 balls, with nine fours and six sixes.

Deepak Hooda is in fine form and asserted that he likes batting in an aggressive manner after scoring a hundred against Ireland in the second and final T20I of the series. The right-handed batter was in terrific form during the game as he smashed the Ireland bowlers all around the ground.

Hardik Pandya has heaped praise on Harry Tector of Ireland after he scored a half-century in the first T20I playing a key role for the hosts. India won the game by seven wickets in the end but Tector’s knock helped them get to a decent total and open up the possibility of a close contest.
