IND Vs IRE 1st T20I will be played in Belfast [Source: X]The first match of the India Tour of Ireland 2026 will be played on Friday, June 26. The venue for the IND Vs IRE 1st T20I is the Civil Service Cricket Club ground in Belfast. The Ireland series will mark Shreyas Iyer's maiden stint as India's T20I captain. The skipper would be keen to make an immediate impact, while all eyes will be on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is in line to make his debut in T20Is. Apart from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Iyer, the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube and Harshit Rana are expected to play pivotal roles for the Indian team. Talking about Ireland, the hosts will miss several key players- Josh Little (stress fracture), Mark Adair (rectus muscle tear), Paul Stirling (torn calf muscle), Curtis Campher (hand fracture), Barry McCarthy (complete ACL tear) and Jordan Neill (shoulder and foot injury)- due to injury setbacks. So, the home series against India is an excellent opportunity for players like Tim Tector, Jai Moondra and Matthew Hollard to showcase their skills and cement their spots in Ireland's T20I setup. As both teams gear up for the series opener, here we explain how the Belfast pitch report and weather report will influence the IND Vs IRE 1st T20I.

Table(Belfast ground records in T20Is)The Belfast pitch report for IND vs IRE 1st T20I suggests that it has traditionally been a bowling-friendly venue in the shortest format. As evidenced by the average run rate of 6.7, it has been a tough task for batters to score freely at the Civil Service Cricket Club ground.
