The first T20I match between West Indies and England in Barbados has already been disrupted by rain, and it could happen again. Let’s take a look at the weather forecast for this game.

West Indies recently won the ODI series 2-1 at Bridgetown, and now the same venue will host the first two T20 matches—one today (November 9) and one tomorrow.

England won the toss and chose to bowl first. The game started with plenty of excitement, as England’s Saqib Mahmood took three wickets early on. However, West Indies’ Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran fought back with some strong hitting. After 4.5 overs, rain stopped play for about 35 minutes. During this time, Reece Topley, one of England’s bowlers, got injured while delivering a ball. He returned briefly after the rain delay but had to leave the field again after being hit for six on his first ball back.

There have been concerns about the condition of the outfield due to waterlogged areas, where sand was used to absorb excess moisture. Unfortunately, the weather forecast suggests more possible interruptions.

Accuweather predicts a 47% to 75% chance of rain, with possible thunderstorms. On the other hand, BBC weather is more hopeful, expecting less than a 10% chance of rain. Weather.com offers a similar outlook. A reporter on-site in Barbados described the weather as unpredictable or “erratic.”

It looks like we might have to keep an eye on the skies throughout the match!
