T20 World Cup 2024: India Beat Ireland By 8 Wickets
India’s fast-bowlers blew away Ireland on a tepid pitch, followed by captain Rohit Sharma top-scoring with 52 and Rishabh Pant being unbeaten on 36 to help India open their Men’s T20 World Cup Group A campaign with a comfortable eight-wicket win over Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Everything went right for India from the time they elected to bowl first on a bowler-friendly pitch which had some variable bounce too. The fast bowlers, led by Hardik Pandya’s 3-27, dominated thoroughly by picking eight wickets collectively to bowl out Ireland for just 96 in 16 overs, with four overs left unused. In reply, Rohit and Pant hung around to begin their campaign with a win by completing the chase with 46 balls remaining and getting their eighth successive victory over Ireland in men’s T20Is. Rohit went past 4000 T20I runs and 1000-run mark in T20 World Cups during his impressive 52, before retiring hurt due to a sore elbow.
