PREVIEW

Ireland and West Indies will square off in a three-match Twenty20 International series, starting on Thursday at Bready Cricket Club.

The series will give Shai Hope’s West Indies an opportunity to bounce back after a difficult tour of England, where it lost all six white-ball matches against the host. While Ireland is not as formidable an opponent as England, West Indies will not take it lightly. The Paul Stirling-led side gave a good account of its competitiveness last month as it drew a three-match One-Day International series against the Windies 1-1.

Given that the T20I head-to-head record between Ireland and West Indies is level at 3-3, the series is likely to provide some exciting action as both teams seem to be on an equal footing in the shortest format.
