Team news
MS Dhoni didn't give anything away when asked about a likely playing XI on the eve of the game, but appeared to confirm the rumour that Ashish Nehra was match-fit once more. India will play to their strength, which is batting, and that's likely to leave four spots up for grabs for the bowlers. The same group that played against England - Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Harbhajan Singh and Piyush Chawla - is the logical conclusion.
India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (wk/capt), 7 Yusuf Pathan, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Piyush Chawla, 11 Munaf Patel
Ireland were forced to make some last-minute changes to their line-up against England, with allrounder Andre Botha's unavailability meaning wicketkeeper-batsman Gary Wilson slotted in at No. 5. Botha is one of Ireland's most accomplished bowlers in the end overs - his accuracy and canny changes of pace brought him three cheap wickets against Bangladesh - and if he is match-fit, he'll play. Otherwise, Ireland have little reason to change the team that beat England.
Ireland (probable): 1 William Porterfield (capt), 2 Paul Stirling, 3 Ed Joyce, 4 Niall O'Brien (wk), 5 Kevin O'Brien, 6 Alex Cusack, 7 Andre Botha/Gary Wilson, 8 John Mooney, 9 Trent Johnston, 10 George Dockrell, 11 Boyd Rankin
