Windies Eye Huge Upset After Rain Washout

Rain washed out the first match between Ireland and West Indies at Bready. Both teams will play their second T20I match on Saturday at Belfast. The previous ODI series ended in a tie after three games. Ireland won the opener and West Indies claimed the final match.

Ireland played Zimbabwe earlier this year in T20I cricket. Two matches faced cancellation due to bad weather conditions. Zimbabwe beat Ireland by three wickets in the final game. West Indies lost all three matches against England recently.

The toss happens at 7:00 PM Indian time on Saturday evening. Play begins thirty minutes later at Civil Service Cricket Club. Fans can watch the match live on the SonyLIV streaming app. The venue has hosted 26 T20I matches before this game.

Teams batting second have won 16 times at this ground. First-innings teams managed only 10 victories from 26 games. The average score for teams batting first reaches 136 runs. New ball bowlers might find early movement on the pitch.

Teams batting first should target scores between 160 and 170 runs. The wicket might help bowlers early in each innings. Openers need to play carefully against the moving ball. Both teams feature strong batting lineups for the contest. Fantasy cricket players should pick Evin Lewis as captain.
