Belfast, June 26 -- The debutant Matthew Hollard got the Player of the Match award in his first international match, and it came against the World Champions India.

The Irish seamer finished with the bowling figures of 28/3 and played a big role in restricting the visitors to 148 after the hosts set a big target of 183 runs in Belfast. With their first international win over India, the hosts have taken a 1-0 lead in the two-match bilateral series.

With his second delivery in international cricket, Hollard dismissed Ishan Kishan, as the wicketkeeper Lorcan Tucker took a brilliant high catch behind the wickets. He went on to dismiss Shreyas Iyer and Washington Sundar in his next two overs.
