IND vs IRE T20 World Cup 2024: Rohit Sharma's India will kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Wednesday, June 5. The match will kick start at 8:00 PM IST.

India registered a clinical 60-run win over Bangladesh at the same venue on June 1 in a T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up game. Ireland lost their warm-up game against Sri Lanka by 41 runs.

However, the Paul Stirling-led side cannot be taken lightly. They defeated Pakistan last month, and have often punched above their weight. The side has some really talented white-ball players, but have lost each of their last seven matches against India.

In the first-ever T20I international played at the venue on Monday, Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first. However, they were bundled out for 77 in 19.1 overs after pacers chipped in with seven wickets. South Africa also found scoring difficult and chased down the target in 16.2 overs. Sri Lanka pacers and spinners shared two wickets each.

On the drop-in pitch from Australia, the ball has seamed for the pacers and stopped for the spinners. The outfield has also been slow. India and Bangladesh played a warm-up game here on June 1. Bangladesh lost by 60 runs after they were restricted to 122/9 while chasing 183. India pacers picked seven wickets.

"There is a square of four pitches. I don't know which wicket we will be playing on. So, who knows - the wicket that we are playing tomorrow might be a good wicket to bat on. So, it's all about adapting," Rohit Sharma said in the pre-match press conference on Wednesday.
