Title contenders India will have to be on their guard against giant-killers Ireland, on a high after shocking England, when the two sides face off in an interesting group B match of the cricket World Cup on Sunday.
The match has grown in profile and has gained proportion after Ireland sprang the tournament's biggest surprise by shocking their more fancied neighbours and three-time Cup finalists England.
Going by pedigree, however, there is definitely no comparison between the two teams and, irrespective of all the hype over Ireland's stunning win that left Andrew Strauss and his men and India with bowling concerns, the hosts will start the match as firm favourites.
Until Wednesday, the day the Irish made the world sit up and take notice of their cricketing credentials, none would have given the upcoming match any importance except for the fact that India is involved.
