India face Ireland in their opening game of the Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in New York - follow text, radio commentary and video highlights.
Sri Lanka came undone because they kept swinging and swinging to try and get 150-160. Ireland need to realise they don't need to do that. Look at 110-120, run sensibly, and you're in the game.It feels like they need Test match batting, genuinely. Just get to three figures, make that the first milestone, and you really are in the game.Reaching the 100 mark looks a difficult task for Ireland now as the first of the all-rounders enters the fray with just 28 on the board.
A little earlier I spoke to Martin, who has come over from Belfast, and Martha, who has made the trip from Dublin, for Ireland's games in the United States. Martin adds: "It's been a warm welcome from everyone here for Ireland. India are big favourites so it would be a big upset."Scoring runs is merely a bonus on what is, to say the least, a bowler-friendly wicket.We're just taking a short break at the end of the powerplay, with Tector seemingly taking some painkillers after that whack on the thumb in the previous over.
Arshdeep has been struggling with extras in this over, the aforementioned wide is one of four, including one that flies away for five runs - perhaps he's getting too excited?
