Ireland-West Indies Washed Out, Final T20I in Doubt

The first two T20 International matches between Ireland and the West Indies at Bready Cricket Club were abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain, leaving the three-match series level ahead of the final game. Weather forecasts for the third T20I predict a 60% chance of rain and cool temperatures, potentially favoring bowlers due to the pitch's tendency to assist them under cloudy conditions. Historically, Bready has produced low-scoring T20 games, with an average first innings score of 134 and only one total above 180 in 18 matches. Both teams are eager to finally take the field, with Ireland focusing on preparations for the 2026 T20 World Cup and the West Indies hoping to regain form after recent defeats. The outcome of the final match may depend on weather interruptions and the advantage of batting first, as suggested by past results at the venue. The concluding T20I is scheduled for Sunday, weather permitting.
