Ireland( IRE ) is set to face West Indies( WI ) in their 2nd ODI match during the West Indies tour of Ireland, 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the The Village on Friday, May 23.
Paul Stirling and his side bounced back in style in the previous match, delivering a complete performance with both bat and ball. After a string of disappointing outings, Ireland now find themselves on the cusp of a memorable series win against a higher-ranked West Indies team. With momentum on their side, Stirling will be eager to seal the series.
Andrew Balbirnie was the star with a match-winning century and will be looking to set the tone again alongside skipper Stirling at the top. Harry Tector looked solid in the last outing and will be key in anchoring the middle order along with Cade Carmichael and Lorcan Tucker. The lower middle order, featuring George Dockrell, Thomas Mayes, and Andy McBrine, will be expected to finish strongly.
On the bowling front, Ireland’s attack impressed in the last game and will look to replicate that performance. Barry McCarthy and Thomas Mayes will aim to strike early, while Joshua Little and Liam McCarthy will be tasked with controlling the middle overs. McBrine and Dockrell will play crucial supporting roles with the ball.
For the West Indies, captain Shai Hope will be desperate to see his team bounce back after a heavy defeat. The side struggled across departments — leaking runs with the ball and failing to mount a serious chase. Hope will want his players to regroup quickly and deliver a much-improved performance.
Openers Evin Lewis and Brandon King need to provide a solid start, especially after falling cheaply in the last match. The middle order, led by Keacy Carty, Hope himself, and Amir Jangoo, must step up and build crucial partnerships. With experienced finishers like Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, and Matthew Forde in the lower middle order, the West Indies have the depth — but they need execution.
The bowling unit, which lacked rhythm in the last game, will need early breakthroughs from Alzarri Joseph and Matthew Forde. Gudakesh Motie was a rare bright spot, and he’ll be expected to apply pressure in the middle overs alongside Shamar Joseph. Chase and Greaves will need to support with disciplined spells.
With the series on the line, both teams have plenty to play for — expect a fiercely contested decider.
