Ireland captain William Porterfield has won the toss and decided to bat in the World Cup match against India in Hamilton.
India have won each of their four tournament matches and are guaranteed a quarter-final spot.
They have kept the same side which beat the West Indies by four wickets with 65 balls to spare.
Ireland have made one change with pace bowler Stuart Thompson coming in for off-spinner Andrew McBrine from the side which held on for a five-run victory over Zimbabwe. They have won three matches and lost two at the tournament and are currently fourth in the pool. A win would guarantee them a quarter-final.
