…Presentations next…
The spinners were getting more purchases on the pitch and West Indies came up with just one, Akeal Hosein. The pacers were taken to the cleaners. Right from the start, West Indies were on the back foot and there was never a moment where the Windies thought they had a chance. A poor performance from them overall.
West Indies opted to bat first and it turned out to be a very bad decision. Apart from Brandon King, no one turned up with the bat. They finished with a below par score and Ireland made a mockery of it. Paul Stirling, who was having one of the worst years with the bat, turned his form around and played one of his most important innings. Lorcan Tucker supported him and played brilliant innings as well. A comprehensive win and a proud day for the Irish people to remember.
Ireland have knocked the two-time World Champions out in some fashion. What a victory for Ireland. A day to remember for them! Ireland qualify for the next round. A one-sided affair and its time for the Windies to pack their bags and go home. Too early for the two-time champions but they were beaten comprehensively.
