Might the current champion Team India, which has won the T20 World Cup twice in a row, have to lose the series against Ireland? Till two days ago, this statement would hardly have been accepted by anyone, but after what happened in Belfast on 26th June, it seems to be becoming not just a statement but a reality. In the first match of the 2-match T20 series against Ireland, Team India suffered a shocking defeat by 34 runs. Now the challenge is to save the series but before the second T20, the weather has increased the tension.
India-Ireland The second and last match of the T20 series will be played on Sunday 28th June. After losing the first match, Team India now faces the challenge of winning this match at any cost. If they lose this match, they will also lose the series, which will be a new embarrassment. The chance to win the series is already gone anyway. In such a situation, now the only goal in front of Team India is to win the match and achieve parity in the series. But will the weather in Belfast stop him from doing so?
What does the weather forecast say in Belfast?
Only this fear remains now, about which even the fans are worried. This is because it rained in Belfast on Saturday, due to which the practice session of Team India got affected. The Indian team was not able to practice fully and from here it is feared that it may rain on Sunday also, due to which India will lose the series if the match is cancelled. But will it really rain on Sunday? For this we will have to look at the weather forecast.
According to BBC’s weather report, between 50 and 65 percent rainfall is expected in Belfast between 1 pm and 3 pm on Sunday. If we understand this according to Indian time, then it will rain between 5:30 pm and 7:30 and 8 pm. Let us tell you that this is the same time when the second T20 match is to start in Belfast. Now, if it rains and the match is affected due to it, then there may be a possibility of cancellation of the match and in such a situation, Team India may lose this series by 0-1.
Will Vaibhav Suryavanshi get a chance this time?
Talking about the match, eyes will also be on whether Vaibhav Suryavanshi gets a chance to debut in the second T20 match or not. There is a lot of curiosity about this 15 year old batsman taking the field for Team India. In the first T20 match, where the fans were sure that Vaibhav would debut, but it did not happen and Team India came with the same opening pair and top order as in the T20 World Cup. But Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan did not play in the first match. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Vaibhav’s turn comes in the second match or not.
