West Indies vs Ireland Dream11 Team Tips and Prediction Ireland tour of West Indies 2020, Probable Playing 11, 2nd ODI Captain, Vice-Captain, Cricket Prediction Tips For Today’s Match WI vs IRE at Kensington Oval, Barbados: After an impressive show in all departments of the game in the first ODI, West Indies will look to seal the series against Ireland in the second game of the three-match series at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. Under the inspirational leadership of Kieron Pollard, West Indies’ continued to impress in the limited-overs format as they further widened the head-to-head gulf between the two sides. West Indies have now won eight of the nine completed games against Ireland. While Sheldon Cottrell continued to impress, Alzarri Joseph’s match-winning spell of 4/32 would have pleased the management immensely, as must have the return in form of opener Evin Lewis, who powered the run-chase with a stroke-filled unbeaten 99.
Meanwhile, Ireland looked rusty on their return to ODI cricket after nearly six months. A collective batting failure presented little chance to their bowlers to make a game out of it. Each of their top four got starts, as did the keeper-batsman Lorcan Tucker, who top-scored with 31. Their hopes rest on the experienced men skipper Andy Balbirnie, Paul Stirling, William Porterfield and the dynamic Kevin O’ Brien to give themselves a chance to take the series into the decider in Grenada.
