The rain is playing hide and seek in Chattogram curtailing overs in the second T20I between Bangladesh and Ireland.
After taking almost half an hour away from the match, the rain stopped at around 2:25 pm after pouring in for 50 minutes. Soon the covers started to be removed and the match was rescheduled to 19 overs per side and the starting time was set at 3:15 pm.
But the rain came back again soon after the decision was made and the covers were brought on.
The wait began, again. It stopped at around 3 pm, and now the wait is to see when the match begins. It's surely not starting at 3:15 pm at this point.
