London and Belfast: One match was played in London, the other in Belfast. Both the Indian teams lost their respective matches within minutes. On the one hand, Ireland won the series against India for the first time in men’s T20 international cricket, while on the other hand, Team India was knocked out of the Women’s World Cup. Both losses were heartbreaking, nothing less than ‘black days’ for the Indian team.

The men’s team lost in the last over

First to talk about men’s T20 cricket, India and Ireland faced each other in Belfast. The Irish team won the first match by 34 runs and scored 154 runs in the second match by batting first. From captain Shreyas Iyer, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, big stars have failed. Tilak Verma played an innings of 55 runs, but got out after playing a wrong shot.

The match went till the last over, where India needed 20 runs in the last over. Harshit Rana was at the crease and Harry Tector was up front. Harshit Rana’s first mistake was that he didn’t hit a no-ball, even a full toss for a six or a four. On the other hand, Arshdeep’s third-ball strike with short runs also put India under pressure. As a result, India lost the match by 1 run. Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy started with a humiliating series loss.
