IND vs IRE
New York has served a shocker of a pitch. The uneven, two-paced surface did not give any breathing room to Irish batters as they were bowled out for 96. Hardik Pandya bagged three while Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh picked up two wickets each.
Earlier, Rohit Sharma opted to bowl first in cloudy conditions after winning the toss. There are no Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh as Rohit is going all in with all-rounders and pacers against Paul Sterling’s Ireland. Playing their first matches will be a good opportunity for the two sides to move to the top of the points table in Group A.
