India vs South Africa in (and against) Ireland, this June end

Filed under Ireland cricket

In idle conditions, Team India should've toured England right after World Cup 2007 faliure. But 1 month Bangladesh tour is now added upon with 3 India vs South Africa ODIs at the Stormont stadium in Belfast - Ireland. BelfastIrelandEnglandMap.jpgWhat more, both top International cricket teams will play one One day International each against the host team - Ireland. tagging them as a minnow will be a little wrong now, after brilliant performance in caribbean festival just few days ago. Before anything, let me lay down what is the schedule - India vs Ireland on 23rd June, South Africa vs Ireland on 24th. After this, 3 Ind vs RSA one dayers on 26th, 29th and july 1st. Tuesday, Friday and Sunday that is.

Now a collection of informations from in and out of "Its only cricket" to help you make most of above mentioned 5 one day Internationals. First of all - the Stormont cricket stadium in Belfast, Ireland. A multi purpose sports stadium has full name as Civil service ground with a capacity of little over 6 thousand people. I've compiled an article on Stormont stadium in Ireland, and in doing so - I found out that Belfast stadium first hosted an International match between Ireland and England back on 13th June 2006. Stadium was same and tickets costs were 35 pounds to 20 pounds for under 16s. I hope to find more information on how to buy tickets for this one day series between India and South Africa.

Now the timing is another important factor here. When will the matches actually start? Ireland being so close to England, I can assure you that it'll be around 3pm from India time and so forth. Last but not the least - the telecast channel for this series is Zeesports. the same channel that showed Anu Dhabi ODIs some months ago. These India-South africa one day matches are a part of addition 20 odd matches BCCI promised to play all around the globe featuring India and top other teams at neutral venues. Zee sports has been trying to get Indian television rights and other major telecast exclusive deals to gain market in India.. so I guess those 5 days will be golden time for them.
