Live updates: ICC CWC 2015, WI vs Ire at Nelson, pick of the tweets

Making their World Cup debut in the 2007 edition, Ireland have already made an impression and cannot be considered as a minnow side who are pushovers. On Monday, the Irish side takes on two-time World Cup winners West Indies in their respective opening matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 at the picturesque Nelson in New Zealand.

West Indies led by their new skipper Jason Holder, don’t really have their best side in the tournament and exclusion of former captain Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard had raged controversies. Ireland, in the past editions have pulled off some memorable upsets, most notably beating Pakistan in 2007 and England in 2011. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Full coverage

While the Irish will look to repeat the feat, West Indies, who have been World Cup winners in 1975 and 1979, will look to open their account with two points without much difficulty as they are favourites to win this encounter.
