The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team will play their first match against Ireland in the T20 World Cup 2024 today. The two teams are set to clash at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The Men in Blue will want to start their campaign in the ICC tournament with a bang. But it is not going to be easy for Rohit Sharma’s side on a tricky New York wicket, let’s take a look at the head-to-head record of IND vs IRE before the action.
The Indian team, buoyed by the win in the practice match against Bangladesh on June 1, where most players put up impressive performances, and a strong showing throughout IPL 2024, will be eager to capitalize on their form and rise to the occasion. Ireland suffered a 1-2 defeat in the three-match T20 series against Pakistan last month.
India-Ireland head-to-head record
India and Ireland have faced each other a total of 7 times in the T20 format so far. The big thing is that Team India has won all these seven matches. Ireland is still looking for its first win against India. In such a situation, the Ireland team can take the field with the hope of registering a win at all costs on this big occasion.
Who will win the India vs Ireland match?
The team combination will be very important for India against Ireland. The team India fielded against Bangladesh can be expected to play the same team in the T20 World Cup as well. The use of Rishabh Pant at No. 3 was a surprise move but it paid off greatly in the game against Bangladesh. Hardik Pandya’s return to form was a welcome sight for Indian cricket fans. India will be expected to start their campaign with a win.
