Ireland produced one of the biggest upsets in their cricketing history, stunning reigning T20 world champions India by 34 runs in the opening T20 International at Stormont on Friday to register their first-ever victory over the visitors in any format.
The landmark triumph also handed Ireland a 1-0 lead in the two-match series as India's much-vaunted batting line-up imploded in pursuit of 183, undone by disciplined seam bowling and a striking lack of patience on a lively surface.
