India suffered their first ever defeat to Ireland in T20 Internationals after slipping to a disappointing 34-run loss in Belfast on Friday. India's batting order failed to make sizeable impact, with the Ireland bowlers making history in front of their home crowd. It marked a forgettable start to India's new T20I era under captain Shreyas Iyer.

Tucker, Delany power Ireland to 182
Ireland recovered from a top-order collapse to post 182/9 against India in the first T20I in Belfast after being asked to bat. Reduced to 51/4, the hosts were rescued by Lorcan Tucker, who struck 50 off 36 balls (5 fours, 2 sixes), and Gareth Delany, whose explosive 49 off 32 (3 fours, 3 sixes) powered the innings.
Tucker added 64 runs with Delany before the latter and George Dockrell smashed 49 runs in just 16 balls for the sixth wicket to push Ireland past 180. India's bowlers had dominated the early exchanges, with Harshit Rana leading the charge with 3/24, dismissing Ross Adair, Tim Tector and Tucker.
