Ireland vs West Indies, 3rd T20, Bready, Match Review. The West Indies end their tour of Ireland and England with a victory over Ireland in 3rd T20 at Bready by 62 runs, which in the process sealed a 1-0 series win over Ireland as well. The first 2 T20Is at the very same venue were abounded without a ball being bowled due to heavy rain. Ireland won the toss and elected to bat first and the West Indies batsmen were brutal with the bat. Man of the Match, and opening batsman, Evin Lewis, top scored with a swashbuckling innings of 91 off 44 balls spanking 7 fours, and 8 sixes. Hewas well supported by his captain and wicket-keeper batsman, Shai Hope, who scored 51 off 27 balls including 4 fours, and 4 sixes. The opening partnership of Evin Lewis and Shai Hope put on a partnership worth 122 runs off 63 balls. In the end, West Indies finished their innings on 256/5 off their 20 overs. Matthew Humphreys was by far, the pick of the Irish bowlers finishing with bowling figures of 2/16 off his 4 overs. Debutant, Liam McCarthy had a debut to forget as he conceded the most runs by a debutant in T20s. McCarthy finished with figures of 0/81 off his 4 overs and got walloped to all parts of the Bready Cricket Club Ground in Bready. This was the West Indies 2nd highest total ever in their T20 history. The Irish got off to a good start but the pressure off keeping up with the required run rate and also, losing 3 wickets for only 2 runs saw their innings lose momentum and in the end, the Irish finished on 194/7 off their 20 overs. Ireland went from 114/1 off 10.5 overs to 116/4 in 12 overs. Ross Adair top-scored for Ireland with 48 off 36 balls hitting 3 fours and 4 sixes, while Harry Tector scored 38 off 25 balls and hit 4 fours, and 2 sixes. Akeal Hosein was the pick of the West Indies bowlers as he finished with bowling figures of 3/27 off his 4 overs as the West Indies proved to be too good in the end for the visitors and sealed a T20 series win.
