India vs Ireland head to head T20 record: IND vs IRE T20 head to head stats and records

India vs Ireland head to head: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for the first IRE vs IND T20I.

The first T20I of the ongoing India’s tour of Ireland will be played in Dublin tonight. Touring Ireland only for the third time, India will play a couple of T20Is within three days on this tour.

In what will only be their fourth T20I against each other, both Ireland and India will take the field with contrasting motives. While the hosts would want to stage an upset by winning their first-ever match against this opposition, the visitors would be looking to continue with a winning streak against this opposition in spite of playing with a second-string squad under a brand new captain and team management.
