India vs Ireland | You cannot trust the Irish weather: Fans frustrated after rain delays start of first T20I

India vs Ireland: Fans blamed the uncertain 'Irish weather' after the start of the first T20I was delayed due to heavy rain in Malahide on Sunday.

The rain delayed the start of the first T20I between India and Ireland after Hardik Pandya won the toss in his first match as India captain and opted to bowl at the Village in Malahide on Sunday. Umran Malik received his maiden India cap, while for Ireland, Conor Olphert is going to make his debut. The fans were frustrated by the start-stop rain delays and blamed the 'uncertain' Irish weather while hoping that they would get to watch a full match.

The young team that defied South Africa in a series win on the Indian soil despite the visitors taking an early 2-0 lead would be squaring off with the Irish forces, with an eye on the T20 World Cup scheduled for later this year. India will be riding high on the momentum that they managed to garner after the fourth assignment of the fray where the Indians turned around the game on its head, courtesy of a blitzkrieg from Dinesh Karthik, while Avesh Khan cleaned up the South African resistance with a solid four-wicket haul.
