Belfast [Ireland], June 27 (ANI): Left-hand batter Abhishek Sharma attributed India’s defeat to Ireland to the team’s inability to adjust quickly to the playing conditions.He said that in a tight schedule with back-to-back games, adapting fast during limited practice sessions is crucial for a strong side.Ireland held their nerve to notch a historic first win over India in the opening match of the T20I series in Belfast on Friday. The 34-run win marks Ireland’s first-ever triumph against the T20 world champions across all formats of the game.”Its just how quickly we adapt the conditions, that’s really matters as a team, because when you are playing back to back games, as a group you have to step forward and get used to the conditions, whenever you get practice sessions or probably get used to, I feel as a dominating team, you have to adapt really quick and that’s what we were trying today, but unfortunately it didn’t happen,” Sharma told the reporters after the match.Captain Lorcan Tucker’s half-century paved the way for the Irish, as they piled up an impressive 182/9 in their 20 overs. India’s famed batting line-up crumbled under pressure, and the visitors were dismissed for 148 in 18.5 overs.Sharma held the Indian challenge together with 50 runs off just 20 balls, but the star-studded batting line-up came up short against some inspiring bowling from Ireland.Left-arm spinner Matthew Humphreys and Matt Hollard claimed three-wicket hauls, while it was a memorable outing for debutant Jai Moondra, who finished with 2/25 in four overs.The two teams will lock horns again in the second and final T20I on Jattvibeday.
