The fourth T20I of Afghanistan’s tour of Ireland 2022 will be played in Belfast today. Another afternoon start according to the local time, it will fall into the sub-continent’s prime-time television viewing slot.
The five-match T20I series remains alive post Afghanistan registering an assuring 22-run victory in the third T20I at the same venue on Friday. While the visitors will have to win this match as well in order to not play a dead-rubber fifth T20I on Wednesday, the hosts would be eyeing a victory to seal the series today itself.

Weather in Belfast today
Set to host all the five T20Is, Belfast has already managed to host three consecutive uninterrupted matches. Having said that, that streak might get an interruption in the form of rain on Monday.
According to AccuWeather, there’s a 51% rain probability in Belfast at the time of toss. If this weather prediction holds true, fans shouldn’t be surprised to witness a delayed toss at the Civil Service Cricket Club.
It will only be after around 90 minutes from the scheduled start of the match that the rain probability is expected to decrease to 34%. Set to remain the same till 06:00 PM (local time), rain probability will further decrease to <30 in the subsequent hours.
Therefore, a rain-affected fourth T20I could be in line for us today. With the weather forecast being comparatively better towards the evening, players and spectators would be hoping for enough time to complete a rain-curtailed match, at least.
