As a collective, we’re ecstatic. In the first game, we can’t wait to play the Indian men out there in New York. We do not hide from the fact that we are aware of the Indian team’s superiority.

Interestingly, Ireland is entering the T20 World Cup 2024 fresh off a thrilling victory over Pakistan in the recently finished home series. It should be noted that Ireland upset England badly in the previous edition of the huge ICC event. As a result, the Irish team frequently catches the best teams in the world off-guard.
But as Mark Adair repeated, Ireland knows exactly how seasoned Team India is, and they have some very well-known players on their roster. Interestingly, the Men in Blue possess a potent batting and bowling combination that has the ability to completely reverse the score at any point during the game. As a result, that encourages the European team to play their best against Team India and attempt to tie them down for as long as they can.
