ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 - Match 8 - India vs Ireland - Cricket Match Predictions - June 5th
Here are the Fantasy Cricket Predictions and Betting Tips for ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 Match 8, to be played between India and Ireland, on the 5th June.
8th Match- India vs Ireland (Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York)
Current Form India:
India are the number 1 ranked T20I team in the world with a rating of 264.
All of the Indian players have had decent match practice before the World Cup, as everyone participated in the Indian Premier League.
India are going in as favorites to win the tournament, based on how strong their squad looks.
Players to look out for:
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal - He has impressed one and all with his heroics in International cricket. Jaiswal plays with a lot of intent in T20I cricket and it will only add to India's strength in the upcoming matches.
2. Jasprit Bumrah - He looked in fine touch at the Indian Premier League. Bumrah can provide breakthroughs when his team needs the most and also keep the batters quiet for long phases.
Current Form Ireland:
Ireland are currently placed at the 11th position on points table with a rating of 197.
Ireland have been in decent form in T20I cricket. They won all of their matches in the recently concluded Netherlands Tri Series. Their squad looks strong and it won't be a surprise if Ireland springs out a surprise or two in the World Cup.
Players to look out for:
1. Lorcan Tucker- He is a young sensation in Irish cricket, who is quite consistent in the last 2 seasons. Tucker bats with a lot of intent and responsibility. He is certainly a player to look out for in the World Cup.
2. Craig Young - He has improved his skills by a great margin in the last year or so. Young will play the role of a strike bowler for Ireland and may end up as their lead wicket taker in the World Cup.

Ireland
Paul Stirling (Capt), Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, Neil Rock, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Ben White, Craig Young
