Match Preview
India are set to clash against Ireland in the eighth match and their season opener of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. The match is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 5 at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. India will enter the competition with a star-studded team, but they haven’t played any T20I cricket since their Afghanistan series in January. However, it doesn’t come as a big concern as all the players in the tournament head into the ICC event on the back of a high-scoring IPL 2024.
Ireland, on the other hand, recently played a T20I series against Pakistan, where they couldn’t manage to win. After that, they were up against the Netherlands and Scotland in a tri-series, and beat the Dutch twice and Scotland once.
Win Possibility
The Men in Blue will aim to kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on a successive note against a talented Irish side at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York City, USA. The tournament is going to be India’s first international assignment post the IPL. But since all the Indian players have had extensive practice in the IPL, form won’t be a worry for them.
On the other hand, the Ireland squad doesn’t have much experience as compared to the Indian team, but they surely have a very talented side. During India’s last tour to India in 2023, the hosts delivered a competitive performance. Not only this, but the Irish side also delivered an impressive performance against Pakistan in their recent meetings.
However, if we talk about their head-to-head record, India and Ireland have rubbed shoulders against each other in seven T20 matches. The inaugural T20 champions dominated all of them, and currently lead their Irish counterparts 7-0. Considering this, we think Rohit Sharma and Co. would be favourites to win the upcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The upcoming match will be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in the USA. Since it will be the second game at the venue, no records or statistics are yet available. However, the pitch has been imported for Adelaide, Australia, and considering that, we think the first inning score of the game could be around 175-185 and powerplay score could hover around 45-55.
