Team India will kick off its campaign in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 against Ireland on Wednesday, June 5 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. India have had a rather long but effective build-up given that they have been training in the Long Island and have played their only warm-up match at the same venue. It's slowness, especially after the Sri Lanka vs South Africa game will be a factor ebven though the surface was a different than the one India played their warm-up match on.
With the matches that have happened so far, T20 World Cup has given another reminder as to no team can be taken lightly and India would keep that in their mind. Ireland are coming off beating Pakistan in a T20 and have some solid T20 players in the line-up. This is only the second time that the two teams are facing each other in T20 World Cup and for the first time in 15 years since the 2009 edition.
