Home side had recovered from a terrible start to their innings thanks to half-century from Barry McCarthy
Barry McCarthy, who has flirted with game-changing knocks in the past, blasted his way to a career-best unbeaten 51 off 31 deliveries. His innings, alongside 39 from Curtis Campher added a modicum of respectability, bringing Ireland to a total of 139 after at one stage finding themselves at 31 for five.
The defeat continues an Irish habit of starting a series that was preceded by a break of a few weeks slowly. Not that it looked that way from the game’s first ball, Balbirnie flicking Bumrah off his pads with disdain to start proceedings with a boundary. Twice Bumrah wheeled away in celebration with a customary shrug of the shoulders. For all the talk of a mismatch between these two sides, even he was shocked at how easily a return to the international stage was treating him.
It took a career-best innings from another Pembroke man to spare his selectors’ blushes. The shackles were first removed by launching Bishnoi straight back over his head on the rare occasion he tossed the ball up. Further boundaries came with an authoritative pull, a strong drive and another heave down the ground.
