Head-to-Head Record India vs Ireland
India and Ireland have played against each other seven times in T20 Internationals. All the matches have been won by the Indian team so far.
India
Team India will start their campaign with the match against Ireland and will be looking forward to going deep in the tournament. Rohit Sharma and his men did well in the warm-ups but all eyes will be on Virat Kohli who reached USA late and missed the warm-up game too. It also remains to be seen if the men in blue will be able to field Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube in their playing XI.
Ireland
Ireland might have lost to Sri Lanka in the warm-up game but they won three consecutive matches in the lead up to the World Cup in the tri-series against the Netherlands and Scotland. Moreover, they also defeated Pakistan at home in the three-match T20I series but lost the series 1-2 in the end. Richie Berrington and his men would be aware of the task at hand and will be keen on putting India under pressure.
