Perhaps we were fools for hoping that India's cricket tour to Ireland would be more competitive. India strolled to an easy Twenty20 victory at Malahide on Wednesday. But the good news for Ireland - and cricket fans in general - is that the hosts have a chance to redeem themselves and pull off an unlikely revenge victory today.
But don't worry, if you're not at the Malahide Cricket Club in Dublin this week, you're in the right place to find out how you can live stream all the action for free.
Ireland enter this contest on the back of a mixed tri-series showing in Holland earlier this month, which saw a win and a draw in two matches against Scotland, but two defeats to The Netherlands. Among Ireland's 14-man squad this week is spin-bowling all-rounder Simranjit Singh, who will be plotting the downfall of the country where he was born after being granted Irish citizenship last year.
India will be looking for a sixth consecutive T20 win in Dublin, as they limber up for a long summer tour of the UK – England are up next for three T20s, three ODIs and five test matches between now and September. With the formidable Virat Kohli needing just 17 more runs to reach 2,000 T20 international career runs, we could be witnessing a bit of T20 history before his side reach English shores.
Will Kohli captain his side to a victorious kick-off in Ireland? Or can the hosts conjure up a shock victory? Find out by following one of the options below, as we explain how you can watch a free live stream of both Wednesday and Friday's Ireland vs India T20 match-up.
