Jasprit Bumrah, India’s ace bowler, dismissed Josh Little with a blistering yorker in the T20 World Cup match against Ireland on Wednesday (June 5) at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Little’s 14 runs off 13 balls enabled Ireland from posting the lowest total in the showpiece ICC tournament.
The event occurred in the fifteenth over of Ireland’s innings. The speedster bowled a yorker at 145 kmph, and Little was outpaced. The ball struck the base of the middle stump.

Jasprit Bumrah also dismissed Harry Tector after a maiden over. The right-hander was completed by a brutal bouncer, with the ball hitting the gloves and helmet before ballooning up in the air. Virat Kohli made an easy catch at cover. Bumrah ended with 2/6 from his three overs.
Jasprit Bumrah is vital to India’s performance in the main event. He recently took 20 wickets in 13 matches in the IPL 2024.
India bundle out Ireland for 96 in T20 World Cup clash
India got their T20 World Cup campaign off to a flying start with the bowlers shining in the opening fixture. The Men in Blue efficiently restricted Ireland to just 96 runs in 16 overs following skipper Rohit Sharmas decision to bowl after winning the toss.
Hardik Pandya showcased brilliance in his bowling performance claiming three wickets whereas Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah excelled with two wickets each. Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel made their mark with one wicket apiece.
Gareth Delany was the standout scorer for Ireland registering 26 runs off just 14 balls showcasing his prowess with two sixes and two boundaries. Tragically his impressive innings was cut short due to a runout incident. Alongside Delany Lorcan Tucker Curtis Campher and Josh Little all recorded scores in the double digits.
Rohit Sharma with his squad is poised to face off against old foes Pakistan in a pulsating match at the same venue on June 9. Concurrently Ireland is scheduled to challenge Canada at the identical location on June 7.
