ICC T20 World Cup Points Table 2024: India began their T20 World Cup campaign with a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over Ireland in their opening Group A match on Wednesday. The win was anchored by a stellar performance from captain Rohit Sharma and a formidable display from India’s pace bowlers.
Rohit Sharma top-scored with a brisk 37-ball 52 before retiring hurt, setting the tone for India’s successful chase. Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant provided solid support, contributing an unbeaten 36 off 26 balls as India comfortably reached the target of 97 with 46 balls to spare.
Earlier in the match, India’s decision to bowl first on a spicy pitch paid off handsomely. The pace quartet, led by Hardik Pandya, dismantled the Irish batting lineup, bowling them out for a mere 96 runs. Pandya was the standout performer with figures of 3/27, well-supported by Arshdeep Singh (2/35) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/6).
The match saw India’s bowlers exploiting the variable bounce and seam movement of the pitch. Skipper Rohit Sharma’s choice to bowl first proved strategic, as Ireland struggled to cope with the relentless pressure applied by the Indian pacers.
