India vs Ireland Live Updates: India Win by 5 Runs
India Start T20 World Cup Campaign With a Thrilling Victory
India began their T20 World Cup campaign with a hard-fought 5-run win over Ireland at New York's iconic Central Park on Tuesday.
Opting to bowl, India restricted Ireland to a challenging 157-8, thanks to Hardik Pandya's four-wicket haul. Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie led the way for his side with a valiant 62, but wickets at regular intervals kept them in check.
In reply, India got off to a blistering start courtesy of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. However, they suffered a mini-collapse in the middle overs as Ireland fought back. Suryakumar Yadav's 34 and Hardik Pandya's 27 helped steady the ship, but Ireland kept the pressure on.
With 11 runs required off the final over, Dinesh Karthik remained composed and hit two boundaries to seal a thrilling victory for India. The win gives India an early advantage in Group A and sets the stage for an exciting tournament ahead.
