2:00 PM Local Time: Hello and welcome to a cloudy afternoon in Bready, Northern Ireland. The first T20I was washed out between Ireland and West Indies, and the forecast for this one isn’t much better. It is raining at the moment and it is expected to rain through the afternoon. Nevertheless, we can hope for the weather to close soon enough. West Indies have a new captain once again with Nicholas Pooran announcing a shock retirement, as Shai Hope leads them now. Ireland played out a 1-1 draw against the Windies in the ODI format, and they’d hope to build on that. Stick around for the game updates…
