    Well, it's another historic day for Irish cricket.

    Ireland are back in action on 5 August for the first of five ODIs against Afghanistan.

    India will have to bounce back quickly, with their three-match T20I series against England getting under way on 1 July in Chester-le-Street.

    After that, they're staying in England for a three-match ODI series.

    Ireland captain Lorcan Tucker speaking to TNT Sports: "An incredible weekend. It still doesn't feel real.

    "We are no longer in the shadows of international cricket, we have exploded onto the scene over these two games.

    "We have competition for places now and it is a wonderful time to be a cricket player in Ireland.

    "Thank you to everyone who came to both games and hopefully we have inspired the younger generation with this."

    Lorcan Tucker is a calm and collected guy. I think we saw that in how Ireland played. He has got to take huge credit for these wins.

    He is down to earth and a very popular figure in the dressing room. I am delighted for him.

    Ireland bowler and player of the series Jai Moondra speaking to TNT Sports: "I have made to feel like one of the guys since day one.

    "The coaches and players have told me to just be myself and battle through the tough times against this really strong line-up.

    "I loved it, it hasn't sunk in yet."

    Unsurprisingly, Jai Moondra has been named player of the match and player of the series.

    He has five wickets with an economy of 7.12 from his first two outings on the international stage.

    For the second match in a row, Ireland were asked to bat first and after a slow start, a 66-run fourth-wicket stand off 44 balls between Harry Tector and Ben Calitz brought their innings to life.

    Tector made 53 (47) in his 100th T20I outing for Ireland while Calitz smacked 37 off 23 as the hosts posted 154-8.

    In reply, Jai Moondra ripped through India in the opening three overs, reducing them to 19-3.

    Ross Adair ran out Ishan Kishan as India found themselves four down inside the powerplay and although Tilak Varma made 55 (46), regular wickets and a slow middle phase proved their downfall.

    Moondra finished with 3-32 while Matt Hollard picked up 3-26. The duo, who made their debuts on Friday, took 11 wickets across the seris.

    Today Ireland where superstars and heroes! I didn't see these wins coming. Ireland executed their plans perfectly.

    Ireland created their luck through hard work and belief. The game in the country is moving forward and these results will grow the game. The opportunity for our players to play against the best players in the world was brilliant.

    Two huge days for Irish cricket. What an amazing finish to the game.

    A series win is remarkable and congratulations to everyone involved.

    A clean sweep for Ireland. Surely the greatest weekend in Irish cricket history with this combined with the women beating West Indies yesterday too.

    The Indian fans in Belfast can't believe it and I don't think Ireland fans can either!

    I have the upmost respect for Harry Tector. He showed real nerve in that last over. Anyone who was here today has seen history made. Ireland are history makers! These men walking off the pitch should hold their heads high.

    Prince Yadav hits the final ball of the innings for six down the ground but it's not enough!

    Ireland win by one run and take the series 2-0! What a start to Lorcan Tucker's captaincy.

    That's India's first T20I series defeat since August 2023. Wow.

    Rana c T Tector b H Tector 21 (Ind 147-9)

    Tector and Tector combine!

    It's a filthy full toss from Harry but brother Tim is on the boundary to take the catch.

    Harshit Rana departs for 21 off 10. India need eight runs off one ball.

  15. Ind 147-8published at 19.4 overs

    Need eight runs from two balls

    Arshdeep Singh taps a single through mid-wicket and gets Harshit Rana back on strike.

  16. Not out - Ind 146-8published at 19.3 overs

    Need nine runs from three balls

    False alarm. India breathe a sigh of relief.

  17. Umpire review - Ind 146-8published at 19.3 overs

    Need nine runs from three balls

    It's all going on! It's a wide from Harry Tector but the umpires want a look at a possible stumping against Arshdeep Singh.

  18. Ind 145-8published at 19.3 overs

    Need 10 runs from three balls

    Just a single.

    Three balls to go, 10 needed. What does Arshdeep Singh do here? Harshit Rana is flying on 21 (9) but he's stuck at the non-striker's end.

  19. Ind 144-8published at 19.2 overs

    Need 11 runs from four balls

    Streaky bottom edge from Harshit Rana and it beats a sliding fielder to the rope. Harry Tector has his hands on his head.

    11 off four.
