Cricket Ireland has announced that the tickets for the India vs Ireland first two matches have been completely sold out. The announcement goes on to show the power Indian cricket and its fans possess in world cricket. Despite India coming off a 3-2 series defeat in the India vs West T20I series, Indian fans remain undeterred in their support for the Men in Blue.
Team India’s popularity all around the globe and the financial advantage of hosting the Men in Blue are the reasons behind the sale of tickets for the upcoming IND vs IRE T20I matches.
“The first and second Men’s T20 Internationals between Ireland and India are now sold out, with the third match selling quickly,” Cricket Ireland posted in its website.

All the matches will be held at ‘The Village’ Malahide Cricket Club Ground, which has an official capacity of 11,500.
India have won all five of their previous T20Is against Ireland since the MS Dhoni-led side defeated them by eight wickets in a World Twenty20 group fixture in England in 2009.
Ireland then went on to host Team India twice in a two-match T20I series in 2018 and 2022, which were held at the same venue here.
