Ireland will face the West Indies in the final T20I match of the series. The match will be played at the Bready Cricket Club, Magheramason, on 15th June 2025 at 7:30 PM IST.
Ireland
The first and second T20I matches against West Indies were abandoned due to heavy rainfall. The home team will be playing their first T20I series after losing 0-1 to Zimbabwe in February this year in a three-match series. Paul Striling and his team are set for another thrilling adventure when they face an out-of-form West Indies in their next assignment. Experience batters like Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker will need to step up for their team. In the bowling front, Barry McCarthy will be seen leading the lineup along with Mark Adair and Liam McCarthy.
West Indies
As the first two matches resulted in a rain washout, there is just one match remaining in the three-match series. The visitors have not been so impressive lately in white-ball cricket. They first lost their home T20I series 0-3 to Bangladesh and then lost the away series to England. Shai Hope will be hoping to start fresh here and take this team to new heights after their dismal performance in the back-to-back series. The one disappointing news for the visitors will be the absence of Nicholas Pooran, who bid adieu to international cricket at the age of just 29.
Pitch Report
The surface at Belfast is generally good for the bowlers, a surface that mostly helps the bowlers with good pace and bounce. Fast bowlers get a lot of swing and movement in the initial overs, which causes trouble for the opening batters, but once settled at the crease, the batters will enjoy their time. Spinners are likely to come in handy during the middle overs. The average first innings total at this venue is just 89.
