Ireland were set to collide with the West Indies in the first T20I of the series at the Bready Cricket Club Ground, however, the fans were left disappointed as relentless rain and dark cloud covers led to the toss being delayed. As per Accuweather, heavy rain was predicted for Thursday and it came true as both the teams will be dejected by it.

The weather in the entire Ireland is difficult to predict and there is a high chance that the game could be called-off even without a ball being bowled in the contest. Even if the rain somehow stops, the ground-staffs need at-least 90 minutes to kick-start the contest.

As per Accuweather, the forecast for the rest of the day doesn't sound too promising. The probability of rain is 100 percent and there is a 93 percent cloud cover which doesn't things more complicated. Even if the rain stops, there is a good chance that it might return back and the entire 40-overs look difficult to be bowled. Plus, in total, a 9-hour rain spell is predicted which should leave the two teams disappointed.
