India and Ireland will face each other once again on Sunday (June 28) in the second T20I of the two-match series at Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast. The first T20I took place at the same venue, where the hosts won by 34 runs.

Lorcan Tucker and his boys stunned the world in IND vs IRE 1st T20I in Belfast. They piled up 182/9 batting first, with Tucker’s half-century coupled with Gareth Delany’s 32-ball 49 made it happen.

After that, even though Abhishek Sharma, the No. 1 T20I batsman in the world, played his part, the others fell like a pack of cards around him. Barring Shivam Dube, no other Indian batter seemed comfortable in the middle under Shreyas Iyer’s full-time T20I captaincy debut, resulting in them getting bundled out for 148 in 18.5 overs.

Given that it is a two-match T20I series, the Men in Blue can not afford another defeat in Belfast under Shreyas. So, what does the Belfast pitch report say? How the weather forecast for the IND vs IRE 2nd T20I? Let’s have a detailed look at them.

Belfast’s Civil Service Cricket Club typically assists fast bowlers, with 234 out of 340 wickets claimed by fast bowlers alone in T20Is so far at this venue. However, historically, the Belfast pitch report is in favour of chasing teams, having had 16 successful chases in 27 completed T20Is.

Batters, however, get a lot of assistance here in Belfast, with the ball coming nicely onto the willow after releasing it.

Batters, however, get a lot of assistance here in Belfast, with the ball coming nicely onto the willow after releasing it. Even though India struggled to score runs in the second half of the game, the Belfast pitch report does not tell the full story of how it unfolded due to the conditions. 

Usually, teams don’t have issues with chasing, as mentioned in the past. Nevertheless, in Belfast, during the 1st T20I between India and Ireland, the surface behaved like a two-paced pitch, with inconsistent pace and bounce.

Even though there was no rain during IND vs IRE 1st T20I, the Belfast weather report was not favourable for the series opener. However, for the IND vs IRE 2nd T20I, there is little chance of rain.

Nevertheless, there will be cloud cover during the match, allowing fast bowlers to do more damage.

Conclusion

If Vaibhav Sooryavanshi finally gets a chance to prosper, expect India to go berserk alongside Ireland. Sooryavanshi eliminates pitch out of the equation whenever he walks into the middle, and there should not be any change in his approach if India hand him a senior men’s debut cap for IND vs IRE 2nd T20I.

Thus, expect India to level the two-match T20I series with a commanding victory over Ireland.
