IRE vs WI Key battles:

Paul Stirling vs Alzarri Joseph

Paul Stirling, the Ireland captain, would want to lead the team from the front with the bat and in the field courtesy of getting some runs under his belt.

Stirling will have to deal with the fast bowling of Alzarri Joseph, who would hope to get things right with the ball after being expensive against England.

Harry Tector vs Romario Shepherd

Harry Tector will have to take the responsibility of guiding the middle order to take the team to an above-par total.

Tector will be up against Romario Shepherd, who will look to bounce back after leaking runs in the recently concluded three-match T20I series against England.

Shai Hope vs Josh Little

Paul Stirling's counterpart, Shai Hope, will also have to take things into his own hands to help WI register a much-needed win in the shortest international format.

Hope will go head-to-head against Josh Little, who is one of the most experienced bowlers in Ireland's lineup.

Shimron Hetmyer vs Ben White

Shimron Hetmyer, who is making a comeback into the team, will look to put on a match-winning performance in an important game against Ireland.

Hetmyer will have to tackle the leg-break bowling of Ben White, who is one of the few spinners in Ireland's setup.

IRE vs WI Key Players:

IRE- Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie, Harry Tector, Josh Little, Ben White

WI- Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Gudakesh Motie, Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph

IRE vs WI Weather Report:

There are 84% chances of rain during the game in Belfast on Saturday with a maximum temperature of 18°C and a minimum of 12°C.

Conclusion

Ireland would like to win the second match on Saturday to start the three-match T20I series on a high.

If Ireland manages to win the series, it will be their first T20I series win over the West Indies.

West Indies, on the other hand, would hope to shrug off a disappointing show in the recently concluded ODI and T20I series against England.
