After the first T20I went down the drain thanks to the classic Irish drizzle, Ireland and West Indies will be hoping for a change of fortune and weather as they gear up for the second T20I on Saturday, June 14 at the Bready Cricket Club Ground. With the ODI series ending all square, both teams will be itching to stamp their authority in the shortest format.

West Indies haven’t had the best run as they are coming off a 3-0 whitewash at the hands of England earlier this month.

Ireland’s last taste of T20I action came in Zimbabwe back in February, where two of the three matches were abandoned and the one completed game saw Zimbabwe edge them by three wickets.

As both teams gear up for an exciting clash, let's see how the surface at Bready Cricket Club Ground will behave throughout the contest.

Bready Cricket Club Ground Pitch Report: Is The Surface Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The Bready Cricket Club Ground pitch has got a little zip early on. New-ball bowlers can expect a bit of swing and seam, particularly in the initial overs. There is movement off the deck and in the air so if the quicks hit the right lengths, early wickets could be on the cards.

But once the shine goes off, batters can cash in. The bounce is true, the pace is even, and strokeplay becomes easier as the innings wears on. Spinners, on the other hand, have had it rough here with only 31.35% of dismissals coming through them. That is a telling stat.

Expect slower balls and cutters from the pacers in the second half, while spinners will need to be dead accurate to make an impact. History says chasing isn’t always the best idea here as teams batting second have lost six of the last ten games. Still, with a fresh pitch likely to be rolled out and weather keeping everyone on their toes, the toss-winner might fancy chasing.
