T20 WC 2024: India Defeat Ireland By 8-Wickets To Kick Campaign Opener

Skipper Rohit Sharma's freak upper arm injury came as a dampener but India's four-pronged pace attack was too deadly for an out-of-depth Ireland during a walk-in-the park eight-wicket victory in their opening game of the T20 World Cup match in New York. Hardik Pandya turned out to be the pick of the bowlers as the Indian vice captain took 3-wickets while Arshdeep, Bumrah chipped in with 2-wickets each.
