  • India have won all seven of their men’s T20Is against Ireland, including a eight-wicket victory in their only previous men’s T20 World Cup meeting in 2009.
  • Ireland have qualified for their eight straight men’s T20 World Cup after missing out on the inaugural iteration, they won four of their six matches in the European Regional final to qualify for this tournament.
  • India have won five of their eight opening matches in men’s T20 World Cups (NR1 L2), they have lost the toss on each of the three occasions in which they’ve failed to win.
  • Ireland have lost four of their last five men’s T20I meetings against full-member sides (W1), including losing the last two (vs Pakistan) on the bounce; the last time Ireland lost more such matches consecutively was a stretch of three games between August and December in 2023, a losing streak that started with a loss against India (by 2 runs on 18 August 2023).
  • India have maintained a bowling dot ball rate of 52.3% during the Powerplay phase in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023, the second highest such rate by any full-member side (Bangladesh – 54.7) during the same span; the Men in Blue have registered a bowling dot ball rate of less than 40% in just three of their last 10 matches in the format.
  • Ireland batters have left only 1.4% of the deliveries that have faced in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023, the joint lowest by any full-member side (also England) and almost two percentage points less than India (3.3%).
  • Rohit Sharma (963 runs) is 37 away from becoming just the second India batter and third batter overall to score 1,000 or more runs in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history (Virat Kohli – 1,141 runs & Mahela Jayawardene – 1,016 runs); Sharma (91 fours) is also nine away from becoming the fourth player to strike 100 or more boundary fours in the competition.
  • Paul Stirling (24 50+ scores) is one away from becoming the first Ireland batter and sixth batter overall to register 25 or more 50+ scores in men’s T20Is; however, the last time Stirling registered a 50+ score against a full-member side in the format was in March 2023 (77 vs Bangladesh).
  • Yashasvi Jaiswal (India) has struck a boundary once in every 3.7 deliveries in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023, the fastest among batters who have faced at least 200 balls during this span; in fact, only West Indies’ Kyle Mayer (78.4%) has hit a higher percentage of his runs in the format via boundaries since 2023 than Jaiswal (77.3%).
  • Josh Little has a bowling economy rate of 6.4 in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history, the lowest of all Ireland bowlers to have bowled in more than two innings; in fact, he has maintained an economy rate of six or less in seven of his 10 innings in the competition.
