Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

With days of rain leading up to the match, it could almost be expected that the ball will do something earlier on for the seamers. The West Indian players like to play with flair and brute force. They may need to find a way to temper that in the powerplay before conditions improve for batting.

IRE vs WI Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Shai Hope is a Barbadian wicket keeper–batter, renowned for his elegant and compact technique. In T20s, Hope has two centuries and 19 half-centuries.

Batters

Ross Adair has worked his way through the Ireland age-group ranks. The powerful right-hander currently has a strike rate just under 150. Harry Tector is a promising young talent with bat in hand. He is easily one of the modern prospects in Irish cricket with nine half-centuries at T20 level. Power-hitting Jamaican Rovman Powell has captained the West Indies T20I side before and is known for his aggressive leadership in white-ball cricket. Powell has a T20I hundred.

All Rounders

Tall Guyanese bowling all-rounder Romario Shepherd has rightly earned his chances in the West Indian maroon. The pace and skills of the right-arm fast bowler took three wickets against England.

Bowlers

Right-arm medium-fast bowler Barry McCarthy is a reliable bowler for his national team. He brings clever skills in the white-ball formats. His best T20 bowling figures are five for three. Leg-spinner Gavin Hoey has yet to make his international T20 debut. This could be the day with 27 T20 wickets in his pocket. Akeal Hosein is commonly known for his flight and drift among other clever tactics that spinners use.

The left-arm spinner has five four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul in the 20-over format. Alzarri Joseph will breathe fire down the necks of the Irish batters in damp, seaming conditions. The pacer took two wickets in the second T20I of the team’s tour to England.

IRE vs WI Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Shai Hope will need to have a big say for the West Indies, particularly as a calm batter who knows how to soak up and transfer pressure. The right-hander has nearly 1000 T20I runs. His job behind the stumps won’t be neglected either.

Vice-Captain

As a fast-bowling all-rounder, Romario Shepherd will be an exponentially important player for the visitors. His job with the ball should be made easier with conditions. Shepherd has eight wickets in his past eight T20I appearances.
