India Aim Record World Cup Win Against Ireland

It will however be a test for the Indian bowlers at the short Seddon Park ground, where the side boundaries are barely 60 metres, something that the Indian batsmen won’t mind.

With Mahendra Singh Dhoni anchoring the tricky chase in the last game against West Indies, all the top seven have now got at least one good innings under their belt.

Shikhar Dhawan will like to get a good hit against Ireland on what promises to be a belter of a track. After two good knocks of 77 and 137 against Pakistan and South Africa, Dhawan went a bit off the boil with low scores against UAE and the West Indies.

With not-so-great Irish attack in-front of him, the Delhi lad will be keen to add on to his 233 runs that he has scored in the tournament so far.

Virat Kohli (219 runs) does not have a single bad game so far as he has got off to starts in all the matches so far with the opening game century against Pakistan setting the tone for the tournament.

Even during the game against West Indies, he scored a polished 33 before playing that ugly pull-shot off Andre Russell’s bowling.

Suresh Raina and Ajinkya Rahane have both got one good innings each but would certainly like to contribute more.

Both looked out of sorts against the Caribbeans at Perth and that is something that they would effectively like to change.
