India dismantles Ireland in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup

India's fearsome pace attack ruthlessly blew away Ireland on a difficult pitch in New York as they started the T20 World Cup with an eight-wicket victory.

Hardik Pandya took 3-27 as Ireland fought back to scramble their way to 96 all out with 24 balls of their innings left unused.

India faces Pakistan in a highly anticipated showdown between the sides in their next match on Sunday, while Ireland will aim to register their first win against Canada on Friday.

Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea will face Uganda at 11.30am today while Australia will face Oman at 12.30pm.
