Match Preview
Ireland finally tasted their first success of the tour as they snatched the victory in the first T20I game against the T20 World Champions West Indies. This win was quite distinct, especially after losing the ODI series (0-3), in which they came pretty close to winning the second ODI, which they lost to the hosts by just 1 wicket and 1 ball remaining. The key contributor from Ireland’s side was Paul Stirling for his incredible 47-ball 95 runs. The loss has come at the right time for the hosts, as they still have sufficient time to come-back and win the series, while Ireland is just a game away from creating the history of winning their first series-win against a test playing nation.

Teams Preview
West Indies
West Indies had saved their second ODI against Ireland with great difficulty and went on to whitewash the ODI series. The hosts faced the first defeat, as the T20 World Champions fell four runs short while chasing visitors total of 208. After being asked to field first, Cottrell and his fellow bowlers could not break the opening partnership till the 13th over, by which the hosts already crossed 150 runs. Cottrell (Economy of 9.25), Pierre (Economy of 15.00) and Williams (Economy of 16.00) and Pollard (Economy of 11) together conceded more than 150 runs in their 12 overs, while Bravo (2 for 28) and Walsh (1 for 25) bowled well under circumstances. Simmons gave a fitting start as he scored 22 in just 14, and Lewis went on for his half-century, but wickets at regular intervals and 200 plus target proved to be too much at the end, despite grabbing 27 in the over 18. It’s not a big defeat for the hosts, but the upcoming second T20 game is crucial and a must-win. With the top-class T20 specialists, hosts can assure their supporters a fitting come-back.
In the last 10 T20Is, Kieron Pollard is the top-scorer with 301 runs at the average of 43.00 and a strike rate of 139.35, followed by Evin Lewis (249 runs, strike rate 135.32). Sheldon Cottrell (12 wickets in last 10 games) is the key bowlers for West Indies, as he gets support from Kesrick Williams (11 wickets in 7 matches).
Key Players: Dwayne Bravo, Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons
West Indies Actual Playing XI:
Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer, Khary Pierre, Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, Sherfane Rutherford, Sheldon Cottrell, Hayden Walsh Jr, LMP Simmons, Evin Lewis

Ireland
In the shortest white-ball format, Ireland did what they couldn’t do in the preceding ODI series. Paul Stirling's match-winning innings of 47-balls 95 powered the team to the imposing victory, as the team posted 208 runs batting first. He was well supported by O'Brien (32 balls 48 runs), as the duo added 154 runs batting first. Though, it was not easy for their bowlers to defend the total against the team that boasts of Pollard, Pooran, Hetmyer, Simmons, Lewis, and Bravo. Joshua Little’s 3-for and Craig Young’s 2-for also kept the run-flow in check as together they gave away just 60 runs in their 8 overs. Young gave just 3 runs in the penultimate over, taking Pooran’s wicket, to keep 13 runs to defend for Little in the last, which he did successfully at the end, conceding just 8. One more win will get them the trophy, but it won’t come so easily for the visitors.
In last 10 T20Is, Paul Stirling (445 runs, average 49.44) has been the top-scorer, followed by Kevin O'Brien (318 runs), while Mark Adair is the leading wicket-taker for Ireland with 15 wickets in last 9 T20Is, followed by Gareth Delany (11 wickets in 10 matches).
Key Players - Joshua Little, Paul Stirling, Kevin O'Brien
