Injuries & Illnesses

There are no injuries to report from either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch at Belfast is likely to be good for the bowlers. The green surface offers plenty of pace and bounce and the ball moves off the seam as well. The overcast conditions will also allow the ball to swing. The batsmen need to select their shots carefully and wait for loose deliveries to play their shots.

It has been raining here and we can expect more rain here on Thursday, bringing in moisture under the surface. We might also see some interruptions due to rain.

IRE vs WI Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Shai Hope is the obvious choice in this category. He has been one of West Indies’ best batsmen in this tour and we expect him to continue playing well.

Batters

Rovman Powell played well in the West Indies’ latest match against England and is the top choice. We are also picking up Paul Stirling and Keacy Carty

All Rounders

Both teams have some good all-rounders playing for them and we are selecting Harry Tector, Mark Adair, Romario Shepherd, and George Dockrell

Bowlers

As the pitch is likely to help the seamers, we are selecting two quality seamers from the West Indies, Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder.

IRE vs WI Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Shai Hope is the obvious choice here. He is West Indies’ most experienced batsman on this tour and has a good record in his recent outings.

Vice-Captain

We are selecting Harry Tector as the vice-captain of our team. He is a quality all-rounder who can earn points with the bat as well as the ball.

IRE vs WI Team Expert Advice

As the pitch isn’t the best to bat on, we have tried to select a team that has an equal balance of batsmen and the bowlers. The likes of Shai Hope and Paul Stirling can adapt to the conditions and could play an important role. Also, since the seamers are likely to get plenty of help, our bowling attack is a bit seam-heavy.
