Civil Service Cricket Club

Ireland will lock horns against the West Indies in the first of the three-match T20I series on June 12 (Thursday). The game is scheduled to take place at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast and will commence at 7:30 PM IST.

Ireland vs West Indies Chance of Winning

Ireland are playing the shortest format of the game for the first time since February when they faced Zimbabwe. They will face the West Indies at home in the three-match series now. The ODI series played in the last month ended at 1-1, and Ireland will be hopeful of beating the Caribbean in the shortest form as well.

West Indies didn’t have a great time in the recently concluded white-ball series against England. They lost all six matches - three ODIs and three T20Is - and will be desperate to get a few wins under their belt against Ireland. However, they recently lost to Ireland in the first ODI last month, and will need to be at their best.

• Ireland’s chances of winning - 27%
• West Indies' chances of winning - 73%

Paul Stirling is the captain of Ireland and is a veteran of 150 T20I matches. He has amassed 3656 runs in this format so far at a strike rate of 134.70 with a century and 24 fifties to his name.

Sherfane Rutherford was recently involved in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the Gujarat Titans. He fared decently there and also did well against England across ODIs and T20Is. The left-handed batter likes to take the bowlers on from ball one. In 31 T20Is so far, he has scored 437 runs at a strike rate of 138.73 and can be backed to score at least 25 runs in this match.

Ireland vs West Indies Betting Odds

Ireland to have a better opening partnership thanthe West Indies

27, 0, 18 - These were the opening partnerships for the West Indies against England. Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles never got going in the last three T20Is. Their form continues to be under scrutiny, and with so much weather around, there will be help for the fast bowlers. It is unlikely that the two batters will score much together in this game as well. On the other hand, Ireland have a fresh opening pair of Stirling and Tucker who can take the game on and have nothing to lose. Ireland are expected to have a better opening partnership than the West Indies in this game.

Ireland vs West Indies Top Batters

Lorcan Tucker to be Ireland’s top batter

Lorcan Tucker is a decent player when it comes to the shortest format of the game. He will open the innings with his skipper, Paul Stirling. With the fielding restrictions for the first six overs, Tucker is expected to go for runs from the word go. He has played 77 T20Is so far and scored 1363 runs at a strike rate of 123.08 with nine fifties to his name. Tucker can be expected to be the top batter for Ireland.

Shai Hope to be West Indies' top batter

Shai Hope was the second-highest run-scorer for the West Indies in the T20I series against England. He scored 97 runs in three matches while batting at three and scored runs at a strike rate of almost 135. Hope is the captain of the team and will have to step up with the openers not being in great form. Hence, Hope is expected to be the top batter for the West Indies in this game.

Ireland vs West Indies Top Bowlers

Barry McCarthy to be Ireland’s top bowler

Barry McCarthy was the best bowler for Ireland in the preceding ODI series between the two teams. He picked up nine wickets in three matches at an average of 22.22 and troubled most of the Caribbean batters during his spell. McCarthy can pick crucial wickets during his four-over spell and for the same reason, can be backed to be the top bowler for Ireland.

Romario Shepherd to be West Indies' top bowler

Romario Shepherd took the new ball for the West Indies during the T20I series against England. He picked up early wickets as well at times and returned with three wickets in as many matches. Shepherd can pick up wickets for the Caribbean team and surprise the opposition. He is expected to be the top bowler for the West Indies in this match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

West Indies

Even though the West Indies lost all three matches to England recently, they might turn out to be too good for Ireland. The Caribbean team has the firepower and can beat Ireland in their den. No doubt, Ireland will put up a great fight but might end up on the losing side in a thrilling game. The West Indies are the favourites to win the first T20I of the three-match series.
