IND vs IRE
Team India will tour Ireland later this month. The team will play a two-match T20 series during this tour. The scheduled timings for the matches in this series are attracting everyone's attention.
The two teams will face each other in a T20 series starting June 26th. The BCCI has already announced the Indian squad for this tour, with star batsman Shreyas Iyer leading the team. Meanwhile, interesting news has emerged regarding the timing of the series matches.
While T20 International matches, both in India and abroad, are typically played at 7:00 PM or 7:30 PM IST, broadcasters and cricket boards always strive to ensure match times are such that millions of cricket fans in India can easily enjoy the matches on TV or mobile phones during prime time.
But this time, cricket fans will be treated to a completely new and unique timing schedule. These matches will start slightly earlier than usual T20 matches, with both matches starting at 6 PM IST.
This timing is quite unusual for Indian fans, as matches don't usually start at this time. The two countries will play two T20Is on June 26th and 28th, both of which will be held in Belfast.
Although the 6 p.m. start time is a bit unusual, it could prove beneficial for Indian fans. The earlier the matches start, the earlier they will end. Due to the early start, matches could end around 9:30 to 10:00 p.m. This will allow fans to enjoy the entire match without staying up late.
