IND vs IRE T20 World Cup 2024 Match Highlights: India register their first win of the T20 WC 2024 as they defeat Ireland by the huge margin of 8 wickets.
That will be all for tonight from our end. India's Net Run Rate skyrocketed to +3.065 after the huge win. They have probably the biggest match of the tournament coming up next, from an Indian fan's point of view, as they go up against Pakistan on June 9.
Bumrah for his excellent spell of 6-2 in 3 overs gets the Player of the Match award and here's what he had to say during the presentations ceremony.
Jasprit Bumrah: Coming from India, with the ball seaming around, I wouldn't complain when there's help for bowlers. In this format you have to adapt to the conditions, you have to be proactive. Trying to stick to the plans and trying to go back to what has worked for me. You always want to cover all the bases in these conditions. You got to be prepared, very happy with the outing today.
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.
Pant hits an extraordinary shot as he reverse-laps Barry McCarthy for six as India win by 8 wickets!
Shivam Dube is the new batter in for India.
While trying to hit the winning runs with a six, Suryakumar loses his wicket as India lose their second with just six required to win.
Benjamin White is introduced by the Ireland captain Paul Stirling and is greeted by Rishabh Pant with a boundary on the extra cover. Just seven needed to win for India.
Suryakumar Yadav has replaced Rohit Sharma in the middle. IND- 76/1 after 10 overs.
Rohit is retired hurt. But is that injury a serious one that could prevent him from taking the field against Pakistan or is this a preventive measure? No updates yet. Seems like he is not happy with his shoulder. He is retired hurt 52 off 37.
It's the captain who has put his hand up in a World Cup tournament once again. Although it's early days in the competition, he gets to a 50 off 36 balls with a boundary off Mark Adair in India's T20 World Cup opener.
Rohit has smashed two successive sixes off Josh Little. Surely that's the game in the pocket for India. First one over deep square leg before one over fine leg. India get 12 runs off that over. IND- 64/1 after 9 overs.
McCarthy Concedes 9. Pant finds the boundary in that over. 50 up for India. They need 45 more runs from 72 balls.
Time for Curtis Campher to roll his arms over.
Little will finish off the powerplay for Ireland. Does concede a boundary, with Rohit finding the fence towards backward point. India get 6 runs off the over to finish the powerplay at 39/1.
Third over on the trot for Mark Adair. Concedes 4 runs off his third over. IND- 33/1 after 5 overs. Rishabh Pant- 6* off 8, Rohit Sharma- 22* off 17. (Mark Adair- 1/15 off 3, Barry McCarthy- 0/3 off 1).

Mark Adair to Virat Kohli, caught by Benjamin White!! Adair claims the wicket. Kohli departs cheaply, charging at a short-of-length delivery outside off.
Joshua Little comes for the second over and bowls an expensive one as he concedes 15 runs.
Adair bowls a good over first up and Ireland miss an opportunity of getting rid of Rohit Sharma as Andrew Balbirnie drops the catch in the slips. India are 6-0 after 1 over.
Welcome back. Rohit and Kohli will open the batting for India as they chase the target.
Arshdeep Singh to Benjamin White, out Delany Run Out!! 1 run completed. A mix-up results in Ireland being bowled out for 96. This was a free-hit. A full delivery outside off, White slices it past backward point and rushes for the first run. Delany, unsure, attempts a second but both batters end up stranded at the bowler's end. Siraj quickly sent the throw to Pant, who completed the run-out. The second run would have put Delany back on strike for the next over, but it seemed White was not interested.
India have got Ireland all out at just 96 runs.
Bumrah to Joshua Little, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! India are now one wicket away from wrapping up the innings. Joshua Little b Bumrah 14(13) [4s-2]
A few boundaries off the bat of Joshua Little and Gareth Delany means their bowlers have something to defend here against the formidable Indian side. Ireland are 73-8 after 14 overs.

India enter the IND vs IRE T20 Wolrd Cup 2024 game on the back of a resounding victory in the warm-up match against Bangladesh. The Indian team dominated, securing a convincing 60-run win. Bangladesh struggled to keep up with India's imposing target of 183 runs, managing only 120 on the scoreboard. Rishabh Pant showcased his batting prowess upon his return, crafting a superb half-century. Hardik Pandya also made a valuable contribution with an unbeaten 40 off 23 balls, while Suryakumar Yadav added 31 runs from 18 balls. India's bowlers collaborated effectively to restrict Bangladesh, resulting in a comprehensive victory.
Rishabh Pant is expected to start the match as the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter, marking his first international appearance for the Indian team since his horrible injury that had him out of the sport since December 2022.
Rohit Sharma will lead the team and is expected to open the batting. However, the key question is who will partner with him. While Yashasvi Jaiswal is a natural opener in the squad, Virat Kohli could also be a contender for the position after an outstanding IPL 2024 season, where he won the Orange Cap by scoring 741 runs.
Ireland's Probable Playing 11 For IND vs IRE T20 World Cup 2024 Match: Andy Balbirnie, Paul Stirling (c), Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Craig Young/Ben White, Josh Little
India Probable 11 for IND vs IRE T20 World Cup 2024 Match: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.

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.
