Teams
Probable XI for West Indies: Kyle Mayers, Johnson Charles, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), Shamarh Brooks, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Odean Smith, Obed McCoy
Probable XI for Ireland: Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Simi Singh, Barry McCarthy, Joshua Little
Form Concerns
Harry Tector has been struggling with the bat. His recent scores in competitive T20s read 5, 0, 0, 1, and 14.
Andrew Balbirnie’s ongoing lean patch will bother Ireland. He has managed only 42 runs in his last 5 T20Is.
Game Changers
An all-round performance from Curtis Campher (2 for 9 and 72 off 32) against Scotland enabled him to generate the most points (72.5) on My11Circle.
Rovman Powell’s lusty blows at the end helped the West Indies reach a total of 153. Later in the match, he also took the all-important catch of Sikandar Raza. Overall, he added 22.5 points.
Smart Picks
George Dockrell doesn’t bowl much these days but has been consistently contributing with the bat. He has accumulated 169 runs in his last 5 T20Is. In this period, he has been dismissed only once.
Although Johnson Charles was forced to strike at only 125, his knock of 45 (3 fours and 2 sixes) against Zimbabwe generated 30 crucial points.
As expected, Jason Holder kept fantasy players happy by finishing with figures of 3 for 12. For his efforts, he provided 39 points and made it to the Ultimate Team.
Power Players
Mark Adair and Joshua Little have picked 7 wickets between them in the qualifiers. On both occasions, they have been a part of the Ultimate Team.
Alzarri Joseph has been consistently providing breakthroughs for the West Indies at regular intervals. He has bagged 11 wickets in his last 5 T20Is, including 6 in this World Cup.
Fantasy Tip of The Day
Both sides have suffered due to their inconsistent top order. That said, seamers from both sides have done the bulk of the damage.
