T20 World Cup 2024 Schedule: groups, venues and how to buy tickets
The men in blue will kick off their T20 World Cup 2024 on June 5, taking on a talented Irish side at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York City. The worldwide event is going to be India’s first assignment after the recent IPL season.
India will look to make a positive start to the event, which could be the last dance for two of their greats, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. India had not played any international series prior to this World Cup. However, the Blue Tigers comfortably defeated their neighbors, Bangladesh, in a warm match that took place on June 1.
All the Indian players have warmed themselves up in the IPL, tough, and now they will get together with the best possible lineup to kick off the World Cup in a positive manner.
On the other hand, the least experienced Irish side will knock doors on India after facing their arch rivals Pakistan in a three-match T20 series. However, they lost the series 2-1 but competed very well against the visitors. The batters did a great job, but the team needs to work on their bowling for the upcoming crucial match.
