India‘s T20I tour of Ireland could be affected by rain, with showers forecast through the next few days, including the first game of the series in Malahide on August 18. Here’s the complete weather forecast for the first IRE vs IND T20I.
The coastal town of Malahide in Dublin will play host to the three T20Is, all of which are set to begin at 3pm local time. August is supposed to be among the wetter months in Dublin, with rain likely to affect the short T20I series as well.
As reported by several weather channels, there’s a yellow warning for rainfall in Malahide for Friday.
Rain also made an appearance during India’s tour to the same town in 2022, with the first of the two T20Is, affected by showers, being reduced to 12 overs per side.
