India is set to commence their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland today at the Nasao County International Cricket Stadium. The match will start at 8 pm IST. The match promises to be an exciting start for the Indian team, which recently secured a decisive 60-run victory over Bangladesh on June 1 at the same venue.
