In an unfortunate turn of events, the second T20I of the three-match series between England and Ireland has been delayed due to rain. Led by Jacob Bethell, England had a dream start to the series, winning the opening encounter by four wickets. 

However, as the visitors are gearing up to extend their winning run and bag the series, rain and inclement weather could play spoilsport in the highly anticipated contest.

According to AccuWeather, the temperature at The Village in Malahide, Dublin, will be around 15 degrees Celsius this afternoon. Although such a temperature generally promises ideal conditions for cricket, the weather forecast of the city for today might disappoint fans from both sides. 

AccuWeather predicts that the Malahide skies will be covered with dark clouds this afternoon. The chances of precipitation are as high as 97 per cent which might reduce to 86 per cent in the evening. 

Considering the forecast, we believe the second T20I between England and Ireland will witness multiple rain interruptions. Even if it doesn’t rain heavily, the ground’s poor drainage system might delay the game’s commencement significantly. In such a scenario, it will be interesting to see what time the match officials set as the cut-off for a five-over clash. 

How Has The Series Panned Out So Far?

Under Jacob Bethell's leadership, England had a winning start to the series, swatting aside the home side by four wickets. Batting first, Ireland hammered 196 runs, thanks to scintillating fifties from Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker. However, England chased the target successfully, with swashbuckling opener Phil Salt leading the way with a blistering 46-ball 89 with the help of ten boundaries and four sixes.
