The national anthems are done. The weather looks fabulous with the temperature hovering around 33 degrees. This is a big ground with the straight boundary 80 meters long, so expect lots of 1s and 2s. There will be some early help for the pacers and that will test the Indian openers.

09:00 Local Time, 07:00 GMT, 12:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the match 15 between India and Ireland. The defending champions got off to a comfortable 84-run victory against Bangladesh in their opening game and will look to carry forward that momentum. Adarsh Singh and Uday Saharan's 116-run partnership was the back bone of India's total of 251 and then Saumy Pandey picked up a 4-fer to bowl Bangladesh out for 167. Ireland, on the other hand, have played two games, winning one and losing the other. They brushed aside USA with a 7-wicket win but fell short to Bangladesh. This is a must-win game for them if they are to make it to the next round and it won't be an easy task to topple a strong Indian side. Toss and teams coming up..
