IRE V IND (1st of 2 games)
India 208-5 (20 ovs): Rohit 97, Dhawan 74; Chase 4-35
Ireland 132-9 (20 ovs): Shannon 60; Yadav 4-21, Chahal 3-38
India won by 76 runs
A superb opening stand of 160 between Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma helped India to a 76-run win in the first of two Dublin T20s against Ireland.
Dhawan (74) and Rohit (97) plundered the Irish bowling attack although Peter Chase took 4-35 as India posted 208-4 at a sun-kissed Malahide.
Ireland crumbled under scoreboard pressure despite an impressive 60 from James Shannon.
The hosts finished on 132-9 with Kuldeep Yadav claiming 4-21.
ENG V AUS (only game)
England 221-5 (20 overs): Buttler 61 (30), Hales 49 (24)
Australia 193 (19.4 overs): Finch 84 (41), Rashid 3-27
England won by 28 runs
Jos Buttler hit the fastest Twenty20 international half-century by an England batsman to propel the home side to a 28-run win over Australia.
Buttler, promoted to open, reached 50 from 22 balls at Edgbaston.
He ended with 61 and, along with 49 from Alex Hales and Jason Roy's 44, helped England to 221-5, their second-highest T20 total.
Though Aaron Finch hammered 84 from 41 balls, Australia were bowled out for 193, with Adil Rashid claiming 3-27.
It completes a miserable tour for Australia, their first trip to England since the ball-tampering scandal, in which they whitewashed 5-0 in the one-day series.
England play the first of three T20 internationals against India at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
