IND vs IRE Match Prediction

India will field a fresh, young squad. Arshdeep Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson are among the familiar faces from the 2026 T20 World Cup campaign. However, Suryakumar Yadav, the captain who led India to the title, has not been included in the squad.
Following his stellar performance in IPL 2026 and a championship-winning display in the tri-nation 'A' series in Sri Lanka, all eyes will be on young Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who could potentially make his debut on June 26.
Defeating Team India, a two-time T20 World Cup winner, is a formidable challenge for any team. A strong batting lineup, experienced all-rounders, and a diverse bowling attack make this side one of the most balanced teams in the T20 format. Furthermore, Ireland has yet to register a victory against India in T20s. Given the recent form, head-to-head record, and team composition, the odds appear to be heavily in Team India's favor.
IND vs IRE Pitch Report

The pitch in Belfast is expected to assist fast bowlers in the early stages. A light covering of green grass and underlying moisture could facilitate seam movement during the power play, making the opening overs crucial for both teams. A score of 170–175 in the first innings could set up a competitive match, although a target exceeding 180 might prove difficult to chase down.
