Live Score

6:42 PM IST and 2:12 PM Local Time: The toss will be delayed, and the West Indies team is still at the hotel. There was incessant rain earlier on.

7:01 PM IST and 2:31 PM Local Time: The outfield at the venue was quite wet half an hour back. We expect it to get dry and improve with time.

7:23 PM IST and 2:53 PM Local Time: The clouds are quite angry today in Dublin. The covers are in place with the square pitches covered as well. It seems like they aren't in a mood to halt. FYI, the groundsmen need at least 90 minutes to prepare the ground after the rain stops. ⛈️⌛

8:05 PM IST and 3:35 PM Local Time | Nothing new to update. The live visuals are showing that it is drizzling. Our waiting game elongates.

8:20 PM IST and 3:40 PM Local Time | We can see three umpires and the skippers of both the sides are having a chat. The umbrellas are on at the moment. Live visuals show that a few wet patches are there in the outfield.

8:27 PM IST and 3:47 PM Local Time | The rain god has the final say. Due to persistent drizzling, the match officials have decided to call the game off. It has been drizzling since the last couple of hours and the umpires said that they have seen enough.

So that curtains our coverage from the first T20I of the 3-match T20I series between Ireland and West Indies. Rain played a spoilsport in this game but cricket doesn't stop. Switch the tabs to follow our coverage of the ongoing World Test Championship Final between Australia and South Africa from the iconic Lord's cricket ground.

For now, this is Saptak Sanyal signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Arijit Kundu and our scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal.
