Team India will be up against Ireland for one final time in the ongoing three-match T20I series on Wednesday, August 23 in Dublin. The visitors took a 2-0 lead in the series with a thumping 33-run win in the second T20I riding on an all-round performance by both batters and bowlers and will look forward to achieving a clean sweep in what is Jasprit Bumrah's first series as T20I captain of India. However, rain could make an appearance in the series finale, as it did in the opening game but thankfully for India, they were ahead by two runs on the DLS method.
The forecast for Wednesday in Dublin doesn't look good given there is an 80 percent chance of rain, as per Accuweather. The forecast predicts a day shower for a couple of hours with a 16 per cent chance of thunderstorms, which means that the rain will definitely interrupt as the match begins at 3 pm local time.
The forecast does improve in the evening as the probability of precipitation reduces to 21 per cent but it does look threatening as far as the match is concerned and the fans will hope that even if the game is shortened, at least there is a result. It will be a chilly day at Malahide as it has been all series with the temperatures set to hover around a high of 21 degrees and a low of 12 degrees.
Bumrah and Co. have done well and will hope for more of the same from both batters and bowlers but since the series is already in the bag, the team management might look to give opportunity to the likes of Jitesh Sharma in the line-up and maybe rest the captain to give Ruturaj Gaikwad a game to lead the side ahead of the Asian Games.
