Ireland Tri-Nation Series 2019, Match 4, Ireland vs Windies: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The erstwhile game of the tri-nation ODI series between Ireland and Bangladesh got called off without a ball being bowled. After the abandoned encounter, William Porterfield’s Irishmen are scheduled to play against the Jason Holder-captained Windies at The Village in Dublin. With only two points from two games, Ireland need to win the upcoming encounter in order to stay alive in the tournament.

The Caribbean team, on the other hand, started with a 196-run triumph over Ireland but slumped to an eight-wicket defeat versus the Tigers despite a century from Shai Hope. Though Holder’s men are the firm favourites to win the next contest, a loss could see them depending on the result of the last round-robin game between Bangladesh and Ireland on Wednesday, May 15.
