India vs Ireland 1st T20I Live Streaming: When and where to watch Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s much anticipated debut?
India vs Ireland Live Streaming (Image: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi/X) India’s white-ball tour of Ireland begins tomorrow, Friday, June 26, with a two-match T20I series at the Civil Service (Stormont) Cricket Club in Belfast. The competition marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Indian side, with Shreyas Iyer set to lead the team in T20Is for the first time. The series has generated considerable interest among fans, especially as 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is expected to make his international debut. The youngster has impressed throughout IPL 2026 and has now earned his first call-up to the top national side.
Why does the match start earlier than usual?
Unlike the usual T20I start time in India at 19:00 IST, both the matches in the Ireland series will start at 18:00 IST (13:30 local time). Cricket Ireland has decided to move the kick-off time forward by an hour to reduce the time clash with India’s Women’s World T20 decider against Australia on 28 June. While some overlap remains inevitable, the adjusted timings will allow fans to watch more of both games.
