Ireland vs West Indies Chances of Winning
Ireland and West Indies are coming into this series on the back of a 1-1 ODI series, and it was the former who took victory in the first encounter. Having batted first, the hosts posted 303 runs on the board where opener Andy Balbirnie led the onslaught with a whopping 112-run knock. Harry Tector and Paul Stirling also made valuable contributions as they scored 56 and 54 runs, respectively. They had a competitive total to defend and the bowlers managed to keep West Indies at bay by restricting the latter to 179; Roston Chase’s 55 was the only noteworthy score from the innings and the visitors faced a 124-run thrashing.
However, West Indies did not take this lying down as they avenged themselves in the following match by batting first and piling on a monumental 385-run target. Keacy Carty’s daddy hundred with 170 runs was rather helpful and he was followed by Shai Hope and Justin Greaves, having scored 75 and 50 runs, respectively. This time, it was Ireland who struggled in the chase and ended up falling short by 197 runs via the DLS method.

Ireland vs West Indies Betting Tips
Ireland to score low before first dismissal
In their previous ODI series versus West Indies, Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling led Ireland from the front and although they managed to set up a 106-run stand in the first match, their partnership quickly took a downward course as they added a mere three runs to the first wicket in the following game. Further, in the T20I series they played against Zimbabwe prior to this tournament, Paul Stirling and Lorcan Tucker scored a measly six runs together in their sole completed match. They are not expected to make any headway against West Indies’ bowlers in the next fixture.
Ireland vs West Indies Toss Prediction
Bready Cricket Club has hosted 18 T20I matches so far where the teams batting first have the advantage with nine victories while those chasing have five wins to their credit. Moreover, the average first innings score of 134 is extremely low and tough to defend, making batting first the top priority in the next encounter.
Weather Report
With a forecast for light rain and a 25% chance of precipitation, the match at Magheramason might be interrupted by the weather. The temperature is expected to remain around 18 degrees Celsius.

Ireland vs West Indies Betting Odds
West Indies to have a better opening partnership than Ireland
Ireland showcased polarizing performance in the previous ODI series against West Indies where the openers, Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling, added 3 and 109 runs to the first wicket. On the other hand, West Indies’ Brandon King and Evin Lewis were unable to get past single digit totals with four and three runs in the two ODI matches. Although Ireland’s opening wicket appears more powerful, their mammoth stand against West Indies was an outlier and the visitors are expected to achieve a better first partnership in the final T20I fixture.
