India will take on Ireland in match number eight of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Wednesday, June 5. The Group A match will begin at 8:00 PM IST and 10:30 AM local time.
Led by Rohit Sharma, the Men in Blue will resume the hunt for an ICC title, which has eluded them since 2013. Under Rohit's captaincy, they reached the semifinals in 2022 but were hammered by England by 10 wickets at the Adelaide Oval. India have gone back to Rohit and Virat Kohli in their endeavor to end their ICC crown drought. It remains to be seen whether the much-debated move works.
Ireland had a rather memorable 2022 T20 World Cup campaign. They hammered West Indies by nine wickets in the group stage to confirm a berth in the Super 12 round. The Irish side also registered a famous five-run win over eventual champions England in a rain-hit game in Melbourne.
