Earlier, rain halted the match as the players walked off and took cover. Ultimately the game could not continue and Ireland left the World Cup without a win in their kitty.
Smriti Mandhana scored a career-best 87 runs as India posted 155/6 against Ireland on Monday. Along with Shafali Verma, the opener led India to a steady powerplay as he scored 42/0 in 6 overs.
