India face Ireland in their 1st match of T20 World Cup 2024 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. In 8 matches in T20I, India have won 7 H2H. The two sides have faced each other in T20 World Cup only once in 2009 and that encounter was won by India.
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium pitch was a tough one from a batting point of view in SA vs SL match (3 June). It was was spungy, two-paced, sticky, had variable bounce and strokemaking was not easy. On top of that, the outfield being slow made the life of batters challenging. Bowlers are likely to rule the roost.
