IRE Vs WI, 3rd T20I: West Indies Crush Ireland By 62 Runs To Sweep Series 1-0
West Indies defeated Ireland by 62 runs in the third T20I to bag the three-match series 1-0.
West Indies defeated Ireland by 62 runs in the third and last T20I of their three-match series at the Bready Cricket Club in Bready on Sunday.
With the win, Windies bagged the T20I series 1-0, with the first two matches being washed out.
Ireland opted to bowl first, but their start was not ideal, conceding several loose deliveries, which West Indies punished.
A commanding batting display from the West Indies propelled them to an imposing 256/5 in their allotted 20 overs. After being asked to bat first, openers Shai Hope and Evin Lewis established a robust platform with a 122-run partnership in under 11 overs. Hope contributed 51 runs, while Lewis narrowly missed a century, scoring 91.
Jason Holder, Rovman Powell, and Shimron Hetmyer made minimal contributions. However, Keacy Carty, making his T20I debut, struck an unbeaten 49 from just 22 deliveries. Late hitting from Romario Shepherd propelled West Indies to an almost record score.
Matthew Humphreys was the pick of the Irish bowlers, taking 2/16 in his four overs, while Barry McCarthy, Ben White, and Mark Adair each secured a wicket. However, dropped catches in the outfield hampered Ireland's efforts.
Ireland's innings began explosively, with Paul Stirling striking three boundaries from the first three deliveries. However, his early blitz was short-lived. Harry Tector and Mark Adair subsequently combined to steady the chase, forging an impressive 100-run partnership. Despite their efforts, the escalating required run rate mounted pressure, ultimately leading to their dismissals in consecutive overs. Ireland struggled to recover thereafter. While some late hitting injected a flicker of excitement, the target remained elusive, and the innings concluded well short of the required total.
The West Indies bowlers, bolstered by a substantial total, displayed confidence throughout. Jason Holder's early dismissal of Stirling set the tone. Although Ireland's partnership presented a challenge, the West Indies maintained control. Akeal Hosein shone with three wickets, while Roston Chase and Romario Shepherd each claimed a wicket, completing a comprehensive bowling performance.

Jason Holder Creates History, Becomes First Player To...
Last Updated: Jason Holder now holds the record for most T20I wickets for West Indies. Jason Holder lived every all-rounder's dream on Saturday. The West Indian star picked up four wickets and hit the winning boundary to clinch a last-ball thriller and keep a series alive against Pakistan at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida. If that's not enough, his wickets also made him the first cricketer with over 80 T20I wickets for the West Indies. He now has 81 scalps to his name, the highest ever for the Windies, going past DJ Bravo's 78 — a record he held since 2021. Holder's 81 wickets have come in 18 fewer matches (and six fewer innings) than Bravo's 91 (77 innings), too, which should put him high on the list of West Indies' all-time greats. His wickets in the match included both Pakistani openers, Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan, a caught-and-bowled of the innings' top run-scorer, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Nawaz. Pakistan managed only 133/9 in the first innings. In reply, the West Indies were reduced to 96/6 in the 17th over. Shepherd smashed a six and a four off Hasan Ali in the 19th over to leave West Indies on 126 for seven entering the final over. Shaheen Shah Afridi allowed Holder a run but then took Shepherd's wicket for 15. Holder and Shamar Joseph took a few singles, and Afridi bowled a wide, leaving three runs for the last ball. Afridi got the yorker wrong and Holder, who had moved outside the crease, flicked it between square leg and fine leg in the circle for a boundary. With it, he ended West Indies' six-match losing streak. Told Romario when we were batting that we need four sixes," Holder said afterwards, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. 'We are powerful players and knew that we could find the boundary. Just keep wickets in hand but still hit in our strong areas. Credit to Pakistan bowlers. They did really well. extremely proud of our men. Even from the Australia series, we could see plenty of positives. Bowlers supported each other, we got wickets upfront, in middle and towards the end. I love playing for West Indies, still think a lot of work needs to be done. One of my things is to leave WI cricket better than I found it. We've had a fair bit of criticism which is warranted. We haven't done justice to our potential…we can be a lot better, consistency has definitely plagued us. For me, I'll keep putting in my best effort." view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
