England's T20 clash with Ireland cancelled due to rainy conditions
The third T20 international match between Ireland and England, scheduled for Sunday at Malahide, has been cancelled due to weather conditions. The game was set to start at 1.30pm, with Ireland taking on England.
The cancellation comes after the second T20 international match, also scheduled in Malahide, was called off due to similar weather reasons. Overnight rain made the outfield wet early on Friday morning, and the weather channel forecast worsened again around 1pm, causing a delayed start. A 1.30pm pitch inspection was conducted with some hope of a delayed start, but conditions remained poor, leading to the cancellation of the match without any balls being bowled.
Initially, there was some hope for a 1.30 start time due to the rain subsiding, but the weather channel forecast took a turn for the worse once again, resulting in the unfortunate cancellation. The match on Sunday was the final game of the series, and no further information about changes in the schedule due to the cancellations has been provided.
The weather conditions on Sunday are not mentioned in the text, and no new information about the state of the outfield on Sunday has been provided. The cancellation occurred without any hope for a delayed start on Sunday. The paragraph does not mention any changes in the schedule due to the cancellations, nor does it provide any new information about the reasons for the cancellation of the previous matches.
