IRE vs IND: 2nd T20I- Weather Forecast

The opening T20I between Ireland and India turned out to be one-sided as the visitors notched a thumping victory by 76 runs at the Malahide Cricket Ground in Dublin. The dimensions of the venue were short and the Indian batsmen took full toll of them. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan piled on a stand of 160 runs to lay a platform for a massive score of 208 on the board.

In response, the Irishmen strained and barring James Shannon’s breezy half-century, they couldn’t find their feet. On the contrary, the visitors’ bowling lineup turned out to be hard to counter for Gary Wilson and Co. The wrist spinners turned out to be unplayable as they churned out seven wickets for not many runs. After Shannon’s wicket, the match was nothing, but a formality as the required rate kept climbing.

Virat Kohli and his boys will now be aiming to turn their opponents over even in the next match at the same venue. Albeit, the series on the line, the Indian skipper wished to make some changes in order to give everyone an equal opportunity. Also, the Men in Blue would like to win and keep themselves in good stead ahead of the T20I series versus England, which gets underway from the next month.

Uninterrupted match?

As per reports in Accuweather, the temperature is expected to be cool in the morning but will increase as the day progresses. The same is speculated to be around 19 degrees Celsius to 23 degrees from 4 pm to 8 pm, which is the estimated timing of the match. The sun will also be out and most importantly, there is no chance of a downpour as of now.

Overall verdict

The skies will remain clear and the clouds are forecasted to stay away. With the sun beating down, another excellent batting wicket can be expected at Malahide. Dew won’t have any impact on the match and hence, the playing conditions aren’t expected to change much.
