Background
Welcome to ABP Live’s live coverage of India’s first game in the ongoing cricket extravaganza, the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. We will bring you all the live action as India (IND) are set to go up against Ireland (IRE) in the eighth match of the tournament. It is going to be a campaign opener for both the teams as they lock horns in New York’s Nassau County Cricket Stadium. Led by Rohit Sharma, India will look to begin their quest for a second T20 World Cup trophy on a positive note.
Despite India's disappointing performances in the previous T20 and ODI World Cups, they remain strong contenders for the championship with the strong squad that they have assembled. Their recent T20I success underscores their ongoing potential, with four victories and only one loss in their last five games.
India boast an impressive record against Ireland, having won all seven T20Is played between them so far, making them the favourites for the IND vs IRE T20 World Cup 2024 match.
Ireland have shown good form in T20Is recently. They managed to defeat Pakistan in one of their three-match series in May and narrowly beat Netherlands by three runs in a T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up fixture. Although Ireland lost their second warm-up match to Sri Lanka by 41 runs, they are eager to make an impact against India next.
India last won the T20 World Cup in 2007 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Since then, they have reached the final only once, losing to Sri Lanka in 2014. Heading into the tournament, India are bolstered by a warm-up match victory against Bangladesh in New York, where they won by 60 runs thanks to impressive bowling from Arshdeep Singh and Shivam Dube.

India chased down the target of 97 with plenty of time to spare. The pitch was a minefield for the batters, with many deliveries spitting up off a length. Rohit was hit several times and had to retire hurt due to a blow to his right arm. Pant also took several blows to the body. However, a small target meant Ireland were never in te game in front of the formidable batting lineup.
