Team India has started its campaign in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in a strong manner. The Men in Blue have booked their place in the tournament’s Super 8 after an unbeaten run in the group stage.
The Rohit Sharma-led team began their campaign in the ninth edition of the tournament with an eight-wicket win over Ireland. After the players restricted Ireland to a modest total of 96 runs, the batsmen chased it down with ease. It was followed by a thrilling 6-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan.
When asked to bat first, India could only score a modest total of 119 runs on a difficult pitch in New York. However, the players came up with another magnificent performance to restrict Pakistan to 113 and lead the team to a famous victory. In the third game, India beat the high-flying USA to book their place in the playoffs before their final pool game against Canada was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to wet outfields.
