India vs Ireland T20Is: Will rain in Dublin play spoilsport tonight? | Cricket News

India will play Ireland in the first of three T20Is in Dublin tonight. On paper of course the Men in Blue, who are ranked Number 1 in the ICC Men’s T20I team rankings will be the overwhelming favourites, even though they are missing some of their biggest names.

Ireland, who finished in the top 2 of the European qualifiers and sealed a spot in next year’s T20 World Cup will be playing in home conditions and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

As the fans gear up for an exciting contest, which will also see Jasprit Bumrah returning after a 11 month injury layoff and that too as captain, folks in Dublin will be keeping their eyes on the skies.
