West Indies To Win, 1.35
West Indies may have lost all its matches against England but its batting showed some impressive power
Ireland is perhaps at its weakest in the T20 format
Ireland has lost 8 of its last 11 matches at this venue
Ireland total runs in the highest-scoring over of the match Under 18.5
The pitch at Belfast isn’t the easiest to bat on and the batsmen will find it difficult to go after the bowlers. As the West Indies have a strong bowling attack that has plenty of experienced bowlers, Ireland will find it difficult to go after them. We are therefore unlikely to see a big over while they are batting.
Shai Hope to score Over 22.5 runs
Shai Hope is in good form with the bat and has scored at least 23 runs in 3 of his last 5 innings, including a half-century. Seeing his good form, we are backing him to play a good knock here.

Ireland will be pretty pumped with the way they performed in the ODI series against West Indies last month, where they managed to share the trophy. The team has had plenty of time to rest and will look to put up an even better performance in the shorter format.
The hosts have retained most of the key players from the ODI series. Paul Stirling continues to lead the team and will likely open the batting alongside Lorcan Tucker. The two experienced campaigners, Harry Tector and Curtis Campher add heft to the middle order.
The two all-rounders, Mark Adair and Ross Adair make a comeback to the squad. Mark Adair missed out on the ODIs due to an injury but is likely to be fit for this series. The duo not only adds depth to the batting but are also dependable bowlers.
Mark Adair is likely to join Barry McCarthy and Joshua Little in the pace department, while Ben White is likely to lead the spin attack.

The West Indies will be very disappointed with the way they have played during this tour. After failing to win the ODI series against Ireland, they suffered a whitewash in both, the ODI as well as the T20 series against England. They will now hope to salvage some of the lost pride by winning this last leg.
The West Indies has named a more or less similar squad that faced England in the T20 series, with the notable absentees being Brandon King and Andre Russell, while Keacy Carty rejoins the squad. Carty slammed consecutive centuries in the ODIs against Ireland and will hope to repeat his heroics in this series as well.
Evin Lewis will continue to open the batting and will most likely be joined by Johnson Charles. Rovman Powell, Shai Hope, and Sherfane Rutherford add heft to the middle order, while all-rounders Romario Shepherd and Gudakesh Motie add depth to the batting.
The visitors are likely to go with 3 seamers, Jason Holder, Matthew Forde, and Alzarri Joseph.

6 of the last 10 matches played here have been won while batting first. In half of those matches, the captain winning the toss opted to bat first and we feel that it might be the way to go for this match as well.
The pitch at Belfast isn’t the easiest to bat on. There is an even covering of grass on the surface that offers plenty of pace as the ball skids on. The fast bowlers will enjoy bowling here as there is plenty of movement off the seam.
The average first-inning score here is around 130, and anything over 160-170 will be difficult to chase as the pitch does become two-paced after the first half. The weather is likely to remain overcast and we can expect some drizzles throughout the day.
We are backing the West Indies to win this match. While they couldn’t perform against England, we expect West Indies to bounce back in this series. They have an experienced batting unit and a well-rounded bowling attack that will be an advantage for them.
