Thank you for staying with us throughout the afternoon. Fingers crossed we get a full game in on Saturday. Until then, it’s goodbye from myself, Pradeep, and my dear friend and co-commentator Arya. Stay safe, take care, and we’ll catch you next time with plenty more cricketing action!
Match abandoned without a ball bowled!
Just the kind of news we didn’t want to hear to kick off the series. What began with a wet outfield was only made worse by persistent drizzle over the past hour, leaving no window for play in the opening T20I.
All eyes now turn to the skies, hoping for clearer conditions tomorrow so that the second T20I can proceed without interruptions. West Indies, in particular, were eager to get some valuable game time under their belt, build rhythm, and bounce back to winning ways — but for now, their wait extends a little longer.
4:00 PM local (8:30 PM IST): We have some bad news coming in. The game has been abandoned due to rain! The rain played spoilsport and that means we have to wait for the action on Saturday for the second game of the series.
3:30 PM local (8 PM IST): There's nothing new to report. There are a few umbrellas out in the middle as the groundstaffs taking a look at the situation. It continues to drizzle though and the waiting game continues.
2:45 PM local (7:15 PM IST): It has rained a lot earlier. Will take about 90 mins to get the ground ready. Right now, it is raining and the wait continues.
2:35 PM local (7:05 PM IST): Toss has been officially delayed!
2:30 PM local (7 PM IST): Looks like we’re in for a delayed start due to wet surface!
2 PM local (6:30 PM IST): Hello and a warm welcome to Sportskeeda’s live coverage of the 1st T20I between Ireland and West Indies, coming to you from Bready!
West Indies arrive here looking to reset after a tough series against England where they suffered a whitewash. They’ll be determined to set the tone early in this three-match series but will know they can’t afford to take this spirited Ireland side lightly. Ireland have the firepower and depth to challenge any opposition in this format, and at home, they’ll back themselves to make a strong statement.
Having last featured against Zimbabwe, Ireland will be eager to build momentum, sharpen their T20 credentials, and show the world the strides they've made in the shortest format.
Everything is set up for an intriguing contest as both teams look to lay down a marker.
This is Pradeep, and I’ll soon be joined by my co-commentator Arya as we bring you every ball, boundary, and breakthrough from this opening clash. Stay tuned for toss and playing XI updates!
