Rain Plays Spoilsport Again in Ireland vs West Indies T20 Series
It’s been a frustrating week for cricket fans hoping to catch some T20 action between Ireland and the West Indies. Yet again, weather has taken center stage instead of the players. For the second time in this three-match series, rain has had the final say—without a single ball being bowled. It’s a tough break for both teams and spectators who’ve been eager to see this matchup unfold.
The second T20, scheduled for Saturday at Bready, never really stood a chance. Originally set to begin at 3 PM BST, the match was first delayed by an hour due to relentless downpours. A pitch inspection was carried out at 4 PM, but the verdict was clear—the surface was just too wet and unsafe for play. So, for the second time in a row, the umpires were forced to call it off.

This isn’t the first disruption in the series. The opening match, also planned at Bready on Thursday, faced the same fate—completely washed out by the weather. And now, with only one game left scheduled for Sunday at the same venue, hopes are pinned on clearer skies. Whether we’ll get a proper contest or a complete series wipeout remains to be seen.
It’s not just disappointing from a sporting standpoint; these washouts have implications. Both teams were looking to gain momentum and experiment with their lineups ahead of bigger international assignments. Ireland had split an ODI series with the West Indies just last month in Dublin, making this T20 series a perfect follow-up. Unfortunately, it’s turning into a battle not between bat and ball, but between cricket and climate.
Let’s hope Sunday’s forecast shows some mercy. Fans deserve at least one full match after two consecutive no-shows. After all, the only thing worse than losing a match is not getting to play it at all.
