Ireland topped the 20‑over showdown at Stormont, winning a historic series sweep over the world champions.

Harry Tector’s 53 and a 34‑run win the day before set the tone. Two debutants, Jai Moondra and Matthew Hollard, each claimed three wickets, turning the tide in Ireland’s favor.

India, chasing 155, slipped with eight needed off the last two balls. Harshit Rana’s catch, off Tector’s brother Harry’s delivery, sealed a 1‑run victory.

The win marks Ireland’s first T20 series defeat of India since 2023 and cements their place among the world’s elite in the shortest format.
