Okay, folks! This is it from the India vs Ireland game. Keep following NDTV Sports. Until we meet again, goodbye to all of you.

After the match, Rohit Sharma informed that the injury is not that serious. "Yeah, just a little sore (the arm)," said India captain.

After the game, the visuals showed Rohit Sharma looking good while shaking hands with the players. He also showed a thumbs up, seemingly informing about the status of his fitness after the injury that forced him to retire mid-way during batting. Whatever we saw after the game was anyway a comforting sign for the Indian team, however, an official word is still awaited.

Rishabh Pant takes out a reverse-scoop shot from his armoury and it goes for a six over the wicketkeeper's head. India win the game by 8 wickets. It is an easy win for the 2007 champions. Their bowlers laid the foundation of the win and Rohit Sharma's fifty made sure India remained on top.

India 97/2 (12.2 overs) beat Ireland 96 (16 overs) by 8 wickets.

Suryakumar Yadav wanted to finish the game with a biggie but he has lost his wicket in the process. He hit the ball high in the air but failed to get elevation. Dockrell took the catch at deep mid-wicket to provide a wicket to Ireland. 

After the end of the 10th over, Rohit Sharma got retired hurt. He was earlier hit on his arm by a delivery and that seemed to have played a role in him getting out of the ground. This is a serious injury scare for the India captain as he was looking in discomfort while walking off the ground.   

Rohit Sharma slammed his half-century in 36 balls. Before his knock, the highest score on this surface by any batter in the ongoing T20 World Cup was 21 not out, but Rohit has simply boasted of his class.

IND 76/1 (10)

Rohit Sharma has crossed the milestone of 1000 runs in T20 World Cup.

Rishabh Pant is trying his best to score at a brisk pace now. He smashed a four on the fifth ball of Barry McCarthy's second over. It was a good length ball and Pant somehow managed to hit it down the ground for a four. 9 runs came off the over. India need 45 runs in 72 balls.

IND 52/1 (8) 

India are moving slowly and steadily. They need 54 runs more to win this game in the remaining 78 balls. Both Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant are looking good at the crease, especially the former.

India are scoring at a rate of 6.60 runs per over. Not a fiery start for them but surely a decent one keeping the pitch in mind. It is definitely not an easy track to bat on. India need 64 runs in 90 balls.

Virat Kohli has been trapped by Mark Adair. Kohli was finding it hard to score runs in the first four balls that he played and so he decided to go for a big one on the fifth ball. It was a short of length delivery outside off and Kohli edged it to third man. He fell for 1 off 5 balls.

Rohit Sharma got an inside edge that ran through the fine leg region for a four. Joshua Little then bowled a full toss and Rohit slammed it away for a six over mid-on. He is batting at the score of 18 off 11 balls.

IND 22/0 (2)

A tough chance has been dropped at slip and Rohit Sharma will survive. It was a short ball outside off stump, Rohit chased the ball and got an outside edge while trying to cut it. To the batter's good luck, Andrew Balbirnie, who was stationed at second slip, was beaten by pace. The ball burst through his hands to run away for a four.

Mark Adair has the new ball in hand. Rohit Sharma is on the strike while Virat Kohli is at the other end. Here we go...

A run-out on the final ball of Arshdeep Singh's over and Ireland are all out for 96 runs. They fought towards the end but the poor start cost them big. 17 runs came off the over of Arshdeep and that sees Ireland having at least something on the board. They need to start really well with the ball to challenge India.

Josh Little tried to create room for himself by moving on the leg side but Jasprit Bumrah has bowled a beauty to rattle his stumps. It was a perfect yorker from Bumrah that crashed on the stumps of Little.

IRE 77/9 (14.2)

Ravindra Jadeja was brought into the attack and he conceded 7 runs in his first over.

IRE 73/8 (14)

Here is the seond six of the Ireland innings. Gareth Delany moved on the leg side a bit and pulled that ball away for a six over deep square leg.

IRE 58/8 (12.1)

A stunning catch from Axar Patel off his own bowling and Barry McCarthy is the latest one to depart. He mistimed the ball back to Axar's right hand where non-striker Gareth Delany was standing. Axar showed amazing reflexes to jump to his right and take the catch.

IRE 50/8 (11.2)

A short ball banged onto the surface from Hardik Pandya and Mark Adair toe-ended it to Shivam Dube at deep point. Ireland are on the verge of getting all out as playing the complete 20 overs from this point seems like a really tough task for them.

Ireland are six down! That is a poor shot from George Dockrell and he pays the price for it. Dockrell created room for himself by moving on the leg side before pulling the Mohammed Siraj delivery in the air. Jasprit Bumrah at mid-on took the catch.

Another wicket for Hardik Pandya. The ball was shaping away from Curtis Campher after pitching and took the outside edge of his willow and went into the hand of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Ireland batters are falling like a pack of cards.

IRE 44/5 (9)

Another wicket for India! Bumrah got some great bounce off the surface and Harry Tector lost his wicket to it. He wanted to play a pull shot on the short ball but the bounce off the surface and pace beat him. Tector edged the ball before it hit his helmet and went into the hands of Virat Kohli at cover.

IRE 36/4 (8)

Lorcan Tucker has been cleaned up by Hardik Pandya. It was a tad fuller delivery from Hardik bowled outside off stump. The ball swung sharply into Tucker and comfortably went through the big bat-pad gap to hit the middle stump.

IRE 28/3 (6.5)

Jasprit Bumrah begins with a maiden over. Harry Tector literally had no clue as he missed four off the six balls bowled from Bumrah. Despite throwing his bat to every delivery, Tector could play only two balls from his bat and failed to score. 

It was a poor over from Arshdeep Singh. He conceded 13 runs in it while bowling a total of four wides in the over. Lorcan Tucker hit a four off the final ball through the covers to make it a big over.

Another one bites the dust! Andrew Balbirnie has been cleaned up by Arshdeep Singh for his individual score of 5 off 10 balls. It was a back of length ball from Arshdeep that missed the outside edge of Balbirnie's bat and hit the off stump.

IRE 9/2 (3)

Arshdeep Singh has drawn the first blood here. Ireland captain Paul Stirling departs after scoring 2 runs off 6 balls. The pressure was well built and Stirling went for a pull shot to relieve it. He got an outside edge on the ball and Rishabh Pant took the catch behind the stumps after it went high in the air.

IRE 7/1 (2.1)

Mohammed Siraj bowled a superb ball to Andrew Balbirnie. The ball rose to a great height from the good length area but Pant put up a superb effort to stop the ball. He timed his jump really well before stopping the ball from his left hand. 

IRE 7/0 (2)

Arshdeep Singh kicked off the bowling for India and conceded only three runs in the first over. The outfield looks pretty slow, as was witnessed in the preceding game between South Africa and Sri Lanka at this venue.

IRE 3/0 (1)

A bit of confusion took place at the toss. Watch it here -

"Coming with pretty good prep, we were in Netherlands recently (for the tri-series). We've got plenty of matchwinners in our side, want them to show up on the day. We're looking to assess conditions early," said Ireland captain Paul Stirling.

"Preparations have been alright. Have been managing ourselves in these new conditions. Has been challenging but we are all professionals. We played on a similar pitch and do know what to expect a little bit. I know it's going to be slightly different from what we're used to. But that's what the sport is. Not sure about the conditions too much, so thought having a target in front of us would be good. Guys missing out are Kuldeep, Sanju, Jaiswal and one more," said India captain Rohit Sharma atfter the toss.

Kuldeep Yadav has failed to find a place in India's playing XI as Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja both have been picked as spinners for the game. The decision left Sunil Gavaskar surprised. "I thought they were going to pick Kuldeep Yadav. That comes as a little surprise. Other than that this side looks very good," said the cricket legend.

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj

Ireland: Paul Stirling(c), Andrew Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker(w), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little, Benjamin White

India captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and opted to bowl first against Ireland in T20 World Cup game.

Ebony Rainford Brent and Shaun Pollock: 63 meters square boundary on one side, 72 on the other, and 74 meters straight boundary. Outfield, which was sluggish in last game, has been given an extra cut. Surface looks okay. It's pitch number four, SA-SL was on pitch number one. 180 was scored by India in the warm-up game here.

We are close to the toss for the India vs Ireland game. The weather looks cloudy at the moment but weather forecast says that by the time rain could threaten, this game will be over.

Currently, there are some clouds over the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium at New York, the venue for the India vs Ireland T20 World Cup match. Have a look at weather forecast here -

Note: Time has been given in EST. India is 9 hours and 30 minutes ahead of New York, NY, USA.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have individually laid their hands on global silverware but an assortment of some other 'once in generation' cricketers, including Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, have not and they would be eager to finally lift one.

Team India knows that it is a touch undercooked with a lot of confusion still persisting about what could be the best combination on a drop-in virgin strip. As is clear from the games so far, scoring won't be a walk in the park like it was during the Indian Premier League the last couple of months. But the bigger concern is the baggage of being favourites who don't really make it count in the end.

Sceptics call them 'old wine in new bottle' but a clutch of superstar Indian cricketers would leave no stone unturned to break away from their archaic template when they take on a plucky Ireland in their opening game of the T20 World Cup in New York on Wednesday.
