    India 225-7 (20 overs)

    There seems to have been a scorecard issue with India's final total 225-7 and not 227-5.

    Still a big, big total and built on a world record second-wicket partnership of 176 between Samson and Hooda.

    Hooda hit a brilliant century and Ireland face a massive task to get near the target of 226.
