Heavy Rain Halts Play in Ireland vs West Indies T20 Series

For the second consecutive match, the T20 series between Ireland and West Indies was disrupted by heavy rain. The scheduled match on Saturday at Bready was abandoned without a single ball being bowled. The game was initially delayed by an hour due to adverse weather conditions, and a subsequent pitch inspection at 16:00 BST confirmed the surface was unplayable.

This follows the cancellation of the series opener on Thursday due to similar wet conditions. The teams are now looking ahead to the third and final match of the series, scheduled for Sunday at 15:00 BST, hoping for clearer skies.

This series marks the second encounter between Ireland and West Indies this year, following a closely contested ODI series in Dublin last month, which ended in a split decision. Both teams are eager to conclude this T20 series on a high note, despite the challenging weather conditions.

Key Points:

• Match Abandonment: Second T20 match called off due to rain.
• Series Context: Part of a three-match T20 series, following a split ODI series.
• Next Match: Final T20 scheduled for Sunday, weather permitting.
