India Once again win the match in world cup,Ind Vs Ire match,World cup 2015 34th match

India took his winning streak to nine World Cup matches, and also maintained his record of bowling competitions in the World Cup

India Won the match against IRE@World Cup 2015, 34 th match

IND Vs IRE Match: India confirmed the first place in their group, had its winning streak to nine World Cup matches, the longest and now trails only great move by Australia between 1999 and 2011, and also maintained his record of bowling competitions in the World claiming his 50th wicket in five games in the 49th over entries Ireland. Ireland had the highest score against India in the World, William Porterfield and Paul Stirling recorded the best association - 89 - against them, Niall O'Brien came within a stroke of the best individual score against their unbeaten opponents but excellent offspin bowling and aggressive captaincy India limited them to 259, well below par in a serious tone, small limits Seddon Park and given weak bowling Ireland. Shikhar Dhawan, his second hundred of the World Cup, and Rohit Sharma played the race easily.

Porterfield and Stirling attacked the Indian quicks warmly, reaching 57 in nine overs before R Ashwin dragged backwards. A period of rapid and slow overs career followed, and when Niall O'Brien of Ireland began to pull out, Ashwin started over another slide. Ireland went from 206-3 to their eventual total of half a hair. This was the first time an Indian batting team tested. Unlike, for example South Africa, India refused to go on the defensive. Ravindra Jadeja was not a great day, but Suresh Raina filled magnificently. Ed Joyce pulled go with Ashwin scalps of Stirling and how Andy Balbirnie. These Ashwin and Raina bowled 20 overs for 78 runs. That's where the game turned.

When the turn came in the tenth, with the delivery rate over six or wicket down, you have forgiven some other set defensive fields captains. MS Dhoni, the best captain of rotation in limited-overs cricket, had a slip, leg slip, and men individual savings, even after the Powerplay had ended. He also asked a lot of bowlers. Anything was so ill have to go across borders. Jadeja was only half as bad in the 14th over, and was carried by four one six. Dhoni had no qualms remove Raina and they'll immediately.

Even before Raina went on, however, Stirling tried to jump Ashwin on deck. Ashwin had rolled then 17 balls 12 runs, without revealing anything. Stirling required for making something. He tried, but could not open enough face, and holed out to long-off. Now Raina and Ashwin started running through its extensions fairly inexpensively. The pressure was palpable. Dhoni could read the mind of the hitters. Raina told Joyce was under pressure and looking for a great success. Raina remained accurate. Joyce sought a strong back-foot shot a ball full. Bowled.

Overs flew. When Niall O'Brien took risks to Rohit Sharma in the 30th over and hit two fours, India had 15 overs bowled the previous 45 races and certainly within 45 minutes. The first sign of pace - Mohit Sharma - in 23 overs for Ireland felt compelled to push the marker. Unless Mohit provided no rhythm and Porterfield fell to a slow dance. This gate was both Mohit as spinners who had created the pressure.

Niall O'Brien has not been done yet, though. In the Powerplay mounted another attack, and India were tested again by the 61-run stand between him and Balbirnie. And again Ashwin provides the answers, getting Balbirnie in the sweep at the 39th completed. Mohammed Shami immediately provided with wicket of Kevin O'Brien, Niall O'Brien and again came under pressure amid falling windows. When he moved across the stumps to try and hit Shami on the side of the leg, which contributed directly to the square leg in the 43's. Was now going to be difficult for Ireland to bat out acquisitions. They could not.

To activate this persecution in a contest, Ireland needed early wickets. Dhawan gave them twice, but John Mooney and Porterfield fell 5 and 10 respectively. Now Dhawan Create a sensational record when it drops. Even against South Africa was relegated by Hashim Amla. In 174 he and Rohit armed biggest opening stand of India in World Cups, and their aggregate association careers soared to 1,760, the highest in India room.

Dhawan moved to number 2 on the tracklist of this World Cup, second behind Kumar Sangakkara. Once he reached fifty accelerated even as Rohit Dhawan fell to a somewhat lazy sole, playing Stuart Thompson. Dhawan went from 50 to 54-96 of 74 before raising hundred Ball 84a faced and hit the 85th. However, India needs only 70 at the time, and took no drama

India intended to be fours against unpredictable WestIndies-India Vs West indies 6th March

India plan to Make it Four of Four Wins againest WestIndies 

INDIA@World Cup 2015

INDIA:The events of the past two days in connection with a fight between vice-captain Virat Kohli and an Indian journalist have high space dominated news, but Friday's Group B fixture against West Indies presents India with a chance to get away from the distractions and continue their unbeaten run in the tournament.

It was hoped that everything that happened in Perth for the past two days would be the topic of conversation when an Indian player attended the interaction with the media before WACA ground game. But, as has been the practice, India sent the Man of the Match for his former party, R Ashwin, for the press conference after the match.

Ashwin pragmatic interaction with the media meant the conversation largely concentrated on the game at hand and his performance in the previous match against UAE here where took the career best figures of 4 to 25. shape improves the offspinner in the tournament has given India's control of the middle acquisitions which has flourished attacking hitters.

Bowler Pace Mohammad Shami, who was rested for the previous match against the UAE continued to bowl in the nets, suggesting that he may return to his place, but if India would sacrifice Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who had returned from injury feature of the game last Saturday, remains to be seen. Bhuvneshwar boasts a strong record against the West Indies, especially Chris Gayle, whose threat continues to keep the great Jamaican having recently broken the first double century in the history of the World Cup.

As expected, which should be the only selection area where the direction of the Indian team can have a long discussion, like the rest of the bowling and batting has impressed in the last three games. While the above order have consistently been among the races, the likes of MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja in the lower middle order have not spent enough time in between, and against Pakistan and South Africa were not able to boot after higher order had put to them. But with coach Duncan Fletcher have not rejoined the team, India would look to him as they hope to improve on that aspect of his game.

West Indies, by contrast, have enjoyed a long break since arriving in the city, and save for the odd practice session, have been limited to see the action of its group. A heavy defeat to South Africa has meant the West Indies can not afford more mistakes to stay in contention for a spot in the quarterfinals and the match against India will put under extra pressure.

Back problems Gayle have meant the batter takes part limited in practice sessions the team and after a blow light in the networks in the field of Murdoch University on Tuesday, was seen to have a long conversation with the president selectors Clive Lloyd, away from the rest of the team. After giving an interview about reconsider his Test career, which may have been picking the brains of Lloyd to strengthen their belief after the rout of his team received at the hands of South Africa.

West Indies captain Jason Holder has fond memories of the WACA ground since making his international debut here, but knows an opposition like India could trip up easily. Holder was scrapped by AB de Villiers in the game at the SCG, and how the captain returns after giving away 104 runs from his 10 overs speak volumes about his character at the end of Friday's game
