West Indies

West Indies will be smarting after the big loss in the first game of the new series. They have now lost three games in a row against Ireland in this format, although the last two came back in 2022. Despite this loss, they had won four games on the trot in the ODI format. So, this freak defeat is unlikely to have deterred them much.

The West Indies bowlers, such as pacemen Matthew Forde and Alzarri Joseph, bowled well, picking up three and two wickets, respectively, but they also went for many runs. The only real resistance for the West Indians came in the lower middle order from Roston Chase.

Keacy Carty will lead the West Indies batting effort. He has scored 428 runs in his last ten games with an average of 61.06 and a strike rate of 91.06. Sherfane Rutherford scored 425 runs from his previous nine games with an average of 106.25 and a terrific strike rate of 120.05.

Alzarri Joseph will lead the West Indian bowling charge. He has taken 14 wickets in his previous eight contests at a strike rate of 27.92. Gudakesh Motie has also taken 11 wickets in his last ten games at a strike rate of 49.63.

West Indies Expected Playing 11

IRE vs WI Toss Prediction

Over the years, 20 one-day internationals have been played at The Village. The teams batting first have won nine games, while the sides chasing a target have won 11. So, pursuing a known target might be a better alternative on this track. However, the team batting first won the first game of the series.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

This venue is famous for offering a good pace and bounce. These conditions did not favor the more potent West Indies pace bowling attack in the first game. The weather will also play an essential role in this game. Some showers are expected early in the morning. The temperature during the contest will remain close to 18 degrees, and cloud cover is likely.

IRE vs WI: Who Will Win?

Ireland is clearly an improved team in the ODI format. It batted with brilliance in the previous to put the West Indians under pressure. Looking at the lack of application that the West Indian batters showed, we think another upset is likely.

IRE vs WI win percentage stands at 57% in favor of WI.
