Black Sunday for Indian Cricket, neither men save the series against Ireland, women also lost knock out game against OZs

It was a disappointing Sunday for Indian cricket as both the men's and women's teams suffered major setbacks on the international stage.

The Indian men's team failed to save the T20I series against Ireland after losing the decisive match, handing the hosts a memorable series victory. Despite showing moments of promise, India could not produce the performance needed to level the series.

The disappointment continued later in the day when the Indian women's team crashed out of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup following a six-wicket defeat to Australia. Batting first, India posted a competitive total of 170/4, but Australia's experienced pair of Ellyse Perry and Ash Gardner guided their side home with a brilliant 100-run partnership.

Perry scored 56, while Gardner remained unbeaten on 53 as Australia chased down the target in 19 overs to book their place in the semi-finals. India's defeat also confirmed South Africa's qualification for the last four.

The twin defeats made it a difficult day for Indian cricket fans, with both teams falling short in crucial contests. While the men's side missed the chance to salvage the Ireland series, the women's team saw their World Cup journey come to an end at the hands of the defending champions.

Both teams will now look to regroup and address their shortcomings as they prepare for upcoming international assignments.
