IND vs IRE T20I timings changed! Cricket Ireland shifts match times to avoid a direct broadcast clash with the India-Australia Women's World Cup.
In a boost for Indian Cricket fans, they can now watch the start of two crucial fixtures on Sunday (Jun 28) without one game overlapping the other’s timings. To avoid a clash of two matches beginning at the same time (India vs Australia in the Women’s T20 World Cup at Lord’s and India vs Ireland 2nd T20I in Belfast), Cricket Ireland (CI) late on Wednesday (Jun 24) confirmed the new start time for the T20I series against India, starting on Friday (Jun 26). While the Women’s WC match begins at 7 PM IST, the second of the two T20Is between India and Ireland will start an hour earlier, at 6 PM IST (1:30 PM local time).
The first T20I between India and Ireland will also begin at 6 PM IST on Friday.
While the T20Is, to be played for the Spinny Cup, will anyway clash with the marquee Women’s T20 World Cup match, the match timings were adjusted to minimise the overlap, at least partially.
A Cricbuzz report claims that Cricket Ireland agreed to the new start times, considering the significance of the India-Australia Women’s T20 WC game.
Cricket Ireland, the organisers for the two scheduled T20Is against India, is also said to have discussed the new start time with the Indian broadcaster, the Sony Sports Network. Although they would have preferred a 7 PM IST start time for the India games, ideal and usual for India’s away T20I fixtures, the broadcaster is believed to have agreed to the revised timing to avoid clashing with the Indian women’s match against Australia.
