It was a potential knockout fixture, with the loser to be eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2022. After electing to bat first, the West Indies’ batters kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Brandon King stood tall against the Irish bowlers but could only help his side reach the 146-run mark at the end of their 20 overs.
In reply, Irish skipper Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling got them off to a flier. They scored boundaries for fun and never allowed the West Indies bowlers to settle in. Balbirnie departed on 37 but Stirling notched up a well-composed fifty from the other end. He remained unbeaten on 66 and was well-supported by Lorcan Tucker (45*) as they chased down the total in 17.3 overs.
