Captain Rohit Sharma led India in a toss against Ireland at the Twenty20 World Cup match held at Nassau County Stadium. India opted to bowl first and selected four pacers, including Jasprit Bumrah, as well as allrounder Hardik Pandya, and two left-arm spin allrounders, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. Virat Kohli will open the innings with Sharma after Yashasvi Jaiswal was left out, while Rishabh Pant will bat at number three.
Meanwhile, Ireland has chosen to go with three seamers and two spinners for their lineup. The match is being played on a pitch that has been more favorable to batters compared to the one South Africa and Sri Lanka played on earlier in the week. Although there is cloud cover, no rain is expected during the game.
India scored 182 against Bangladesh in a warmup game at this stadium on Saturday. This gives them an advantage over Ireland, who have not played any official T20 matches before this tournament. However, Ireland has shown promising form in domestic cricket and may be able to challenge India’s dominance on this pitch.
The lineups for both teams are as follows: India – Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh
