Teams Preview
West Indies
Earlier in the tour, West Indies had saved their second ODI against Ireland with the great difficulty and went on to whitewash the ODI series. The hosts faced the first defeat in initial T20 game of the series, 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 second T-20 which was washed out due to rain during an early chase by Windies, the host had a better chance of levelling the series.

Ireland
After a high-scoring thriller in the first T20 game, which they won by four runs and some fortune in the second game, Ireland will harbour hopes of securing a rare T20I series victory when they take on West Indies in the third match in St Kitts.
In the shortest white-ball format, Ireland did what they couldn’t do in the preceding ODI series. In the first T20, 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.
However, In the second T20, Visitors failed to deliver the likewise performance of the initial game. Gareth Delany (44 from 22) and Andrew Balbirnie (36 from 32) played some impact knock.
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 27 wickets in last 17 T20Is, followed by Gareth Delany (11 wickets in 10 matches).
