IRE vs WI 2nd T20I Match Prediction [Source: @cricketireland/X.com]
In the 2nd T20I of the 3-game series, Ireland will host West Indies on Saturday, June 14. The match will be held at Bready Cricket Club in Northern Ireland at 7:30 PM IST. The first game was previously washed out due to rain.
Ireland
Meanwhile, Ireland last featured in a T20I series against Zimbabwe in Harare back in February 2025. That series was also affected much by rain, with 2 matches being abandoned and Zimbabwe having won the only fully contested match by 3 wickets.
West Indies
The West Indies, on the other hand, had a tough time during their recent T20I series in England, where they were comprehensively whitewashed 3-0 by the hosts. However, they levelled the ODI series against Ireland with a 197-run win in the third ODI.
The pitch at Bready is balanced but slightly favours batters once they settle in. Early swing with the new ball makes powerplay overs crucial, and spinners may play a role in the middle overs. Given the short boundaries and possible dew, teams winning the toss might prefer to chase.
The weather forecast is partly cloudy with a 20–30% chance of rain, but long dry spells are expected to allow for a full game. A complete washout like the one that happened during the first T20I is unlikely.
