Ireland, on the other hand, looks to continue their recent strides in international cricket, eyeing a potential upset at the Nassau County Stadium.
Indian Squad: Captain Rohit Sharma leads the charge, supported by stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah. Notable inclusions are Hardik Pandya's return to form and Rishabh Pant's surprise role at No.3, which proved effective in the warm-up game against Bangladesh.
