India vs Ireland pitch report

Making its debut in international cricket, the Nassau County pitch has been tough for batters so far in the T20 World Cup, with bowlers dominating both games played at the venue. Expect the ball to swing a bit early, while spinners will find help from the surface right away. The bowling-friendly trend is likely to continue throughout the innings, making high scores (above 180) unlikely here.


India vs Ireland Weather Forecast

According to weather.com, the temperature is going to hover between 21 degree Celsius to 25. Fans can breathe easy as there is little to no chance of rain affecting the game. Another interesting thing is that since the game will be played in the morning and afternoon, dew will not play a factor.
