When bowlers do their job and batsmen swing their bats just right, it's a great day for India.
It took India one swashbuckling 100 by Shikhar Dhawan to register a thumping eight-wicket win over Ireland on Tuesday, March 10.
With the short boundaries at Seddon Park, it wasn't a challenge for India to make mincemeat of the Irish, who had posted 259 runs on the scoreboard.
India's spinners -- Suresh Raina, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja -- did their job well, leaving Dhoni pleased as punch.
