Dublin: The India-Ireland Twenty20 match scheduled for today in Dublin has been postponed due to a yellow alert indicating the possibility of heavy rain in the Leinster region, including Dublin.
It has been raining in the Dublin area since this morning. Because of the overcast conditions, even if the game is moved to 3:00 p.m. Irish time (7:30 p.m. IST), there are concerns that the ground in Malahide will be suitable for the game.
But there is a warning of rain likely to continue from noon to tomorrow morning.
The Twenty20 match preparations have been completed. All the tickets to the stadium, which can seat about ten thousand people, have already been sold.
A chance to make up for the embarrassment
Team India is looking for an opportunity to make up for the embarrassment of the T20 series against the West Indies. The first T20 match between India and Ireland will be played in Dublin. Toss at 2.30.
India is fielding a test team led by star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian team is missing captain Hardik Pandya. Bumrah and his team will aim to start the three-match series with a win.
In addition to Bumrah, pacer Prasad Krishna and all-rounder Washington Sundar are returning from injury in this series. This series will also be the last chance for wicketkeeper Sanju Samson to prove his mettle. He is also the team’s first-choice wicketkeeper at the moment. Jitesh Sharma, a newcomer to the team, is the team’s second wicketkeeper. Although it is expected that Sanju will get a place in the playing eleven, the possibility of giving Jitesh a chance cannot be ruled out.
