- These sides have met once before in T20 International cricket, India beating the men in green by a margin of eight wickets back in 2009.
- Ireland have taken on India in four previous instances in white ball cricket overall (three ODIs and one T20I), losing on every occasion having failed to defend a total in each of those games.
- Ireland have lost both of their previous T20I matches played at the Village in Malahide, suffering defeats to Hong Kong and the Netherlands there in 2015.
- Virat Kohli requires just 17 runs to become only the third batsman ever to reach 2,000 in T20I cricket (Martin Guptill 2,271 & Brendon McCullum 2,140); he averaged over 57 across 41 innings when he wasn’t the India captain but since becoming the skipper, he’s only managed a rate of 32.6 across 12 knocks.
- Yuzvendra Chahal has taken 32 T20I wickets since the start of 2017, at a strike rate of 13; no bowler has managed to claim more in that time (level with Rashid Khan).
