T20 World Cup 2024: India vs Ireland Preview, Probable Playing XI And More

India boasts a perfect 7-0 record against Ireland, with their last encounter in 2023 ending in a 2-0 victory for India. Their only T20 World Cup meeting in 2009 also resulted in a win for India.

Fortunately, both teams are free of injury issues, though fatigue could be a factor for some Indian players following the lengthy IPL 2024 season that concluded just a week ago. Nassau Stadium, where the match will be played, tends to favor pacers, which could challenge the Irish batters against the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Hardik Pandya.
