New York : June 5,2024: India in T20 World Cup They started the event successfully by defeating Ireland by 7 wickets after a one-sided contest. In the Group A match played in New York, India won the toss and decided to bowl first, which turned out to be correct. On the first ball of the third over of the match, Arsdeep Singh caught Paul Stirling by the wicketkeeper and the team won. Dilai and then in the same over also scattered the wickets of Andy Balberney. Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tucker had brought the score to 28 with the help of extras from the Indian bowlers when Hardik Pandya bowled Lorcan, while in the next over, Jasprit Bumrah ended Harry Tucker’s work by inflicting the fourth loss on the Irish team.
The Ayers team’s wickets could not stop and due to poor running, two more catches by Pandya and a fine catch by Akshar Patel on his own ball, the European team lost eight wickets for 50 runs. At this stage, it looked as though a few more runs would have taken the Irish team back to the pavilion, but thanks to Gareth Delaney’s aggressive innings, the Irish team managed to score relatively well. Delaney was the most successful batsman and scored 26 runs off 14 balls with two sixes and two fours while Jose Little scored 14 runs. Ireland were bowled out for 96 runs in 16 overs and their batting failure can be gauged from the fact that the second highest score of the innings came in 15 extras. On behalf of India, Pandya took three wickets while Bumrah and Arshadiya took two wickets each. Chasing an easy target, Rohit Sharma started the innings aggressively, but the Indian team also suffered a big loss early on when Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion after scoring just one. After that, Rishabh Pant came into the field. Hoi, who added 54 runs for the second wicket along with captain Rohit Sharma, made the match one-sided. Rohit Sharma scored a half-century while batting well, but the Indian captain, who scored 52 runs with the help of 3 sixes and 4 fours, retired and returned to the pavilion. The Indian captain was hit on the shoulder by the ball and due to the pain, he left the field after completing the innings. The new batsman Surya Kumar Yadav also managed to score only two runs but India had no trouble in achieving the target and easily achieved the target in 12.2 overs to claim a resounding victory. Rishabh Pant scored 36 runs off 26 balls with the help of two sixes and three fours.
