India are coming into the T20 World Cup on the back of a convincing 60-run win against sub-continental rivals Bangladesh in their sole warm-up match. Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh were the prime performers for India in that game.
The Rohit Sharma-led team has reached the United States soon after the conclusion of the Indian Premier League 2024. The batting position of Virat Kohli in the playing XI is a huge matter of debate and it will be interesting to see where (and whether) the batting maestro figures in the Indian scheme of things.
As for Ireland, they too played a solitary warm-up game before their campaign opener. The Paul Stirling-led side lost to Sri Lanka by 41 runs in Lauderhill, Florida in that match.
Ahead of the Group A clash, the pitch at the New York venue (where the India vs Ireland match will be played) has come under the scanner. The same ground hosted the low-scoring Sri Lanka vs South Africa game on Monday and the track was criticized by many for its sticky nature and inconsistent bounce. It remains to be seen how the surface behaves during the India vs Ireland clash.
