Even though both teams have qualified for the Super Eight round of the tournament, in terms of morale India can underestimate the menacing potential of Ireland only at their peril in today's World Twenty20 match at Nottingham.

Conquerors of Pakistan in the last 50-overs World Cup in the Caribbean, Ireland kayoed Bangladesh from this tournament by six wickets with 10 balls to spare on Monday.

Ireland's cause was helped by a thrilling display of big hitting by the O'Brien brothers Niall and Kevin. Elder sibling Niall has played for Kent and Northamptonshire and younger brother Kevin is on trial with Nottinghamshire.
