India and Ireland are set to clash in the eighth match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday, June 5.

New York: India will begin their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland on Wednesday, June 5 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Both the teams are placed in Group A.

India are termed as the favorites to win this match as they have a fabulous record against the Irishmen having emerged victorious in all the 7 T20Is that have taken place between the two nations so far.

Despite not winning an international trophy for almost 11 years, still India are considered as one of the favorites to win this tournament. Their recent T20I record has been remarkable with 4 wins and only 1 loss in their last 5 matches.

On the other hand, Ireland had quite a hard time qualifying for the World Cup. They missed out on a direct entry which meant that they had to participate in the European qualifications. They secured a commendable second-place finish in the qualifiers. Ireland cannot be underestimated by any means, especially given their recent victories over the likes of Pakistan and Afghanistan in the T20 format.
