The second ODI between the West Indies (WI) and Ireland (IRE) is set to take place at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Thursday.
The Windies were able to get the better of the tourists in the previous ODI, courtesy of a good bowling performance.

Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch at Sabina Park is a good one to bat on with the ball coming fairly well on to the bat. But there should be some swing on offer for the pacers, who will look to take the pace off as the match progresses. Although there could be a hint of inconsistent bounce, the batters should feel at ease once they spend some time in the middle. Wickets in hand will be key for both teams, with 260 being par at the venue.

Wicketkeeper
Shai Hope: Shai Hope is one of the more accomplished batters in the Windies set-up, averaging in excess of 50 in the ODI format. Although he didn't fare well in the previous game, Hope will be keen to get back among the runs, making him a must-have in your WI vs IRE Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Andy Balbirnie: Andy Balbirnie scored a fine fifty in the previous ODI, albeit in a losing cause. The Ireland captain has a good record against the Windies and given his form in this format, he is one to watch out for today.
