IND vs IRE Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Player Stats & Injury Updates For Match 8 of T20 World Cup 2024
Ireland never won against India in T20Is
Team India will kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland today, June 5th, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the IND vs IRE match.
Match Preview
Both India & Ireland will be eager to notch up a win in their opening encounter of the tournament.
Team India, led by the experienced Rohit Sharma, come into the match on the back of a convincing 60-run victory over Bangladesh in their warm-up game.
Their batting line-up has firepower with players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli in top form. The bowling attack, featuring Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, is equally potent.
On the spin front, Ravindra Jadeja will be the leading spinner while the team has to make a choice among Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Ireland, on the other hand, will be looking to cause an upset. While they succumbed to a 41-run defeat against Sri Lanka in their warm-up match, they cannot be taken lightly.
Their recent win over Pakistan in the first T20I of a three-match series shows what they are capable of.
While India hold a clear dominance in head-to-head encounters, having won all seven T20Is played between the two sides, Ireland will be keen to rewrite the script.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium offers a massive challenge for T20 matches. It exhibits two-paced behaviour and inconsistent bounce. Additionally, the slow outfield makes scoring runs a tough task for batters.
