Pitch and Conditions:
With the overcast conditions and rain expected at the Village or Malahide Cricket Club Ground, the pacers are expected to get some help from the wicket.
Ireland:
The Ireland team led by William Porterfield isn’t the best of the Irish sides seen over the years. The team doesn’t have the most encouraging record against the West Indies they are playing at their home conditions and blessed with quality seam bowlers they would be looking to cause an upset.
Players to choose from
WTS Porterfield (C), Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie, James McCollum, Lorcan Tucker (W), Kevin O’Brien, Gary Wilson, George Dockrell, Mark Richard Adair, Joshua Little, Tim Murtagh, Barry McCarthy, Andy McBrine, Boyd Rankin
West Indies:
The West Indies team do not really have their full strength squad available. It is giving good game time to the players who are not participating in the Indian T20 League and are in the World Cup squad.
Players to choose from
Darren Bravo, Sunil Ambris, John Campbell, Fabian Allen, Ashley Nurse, Jonathan Carter, Jason Holder (c), Raymon Reifer, Roston Chase, Shai Hope (w), Shane Dowrich, Sheldon Cottrell, Shannon Gabriel, Kemar Roach
Previous Playing Records
