| 2.4 : 2.4: R Shepherd to J McCollum, FOUR! Hammered! Short ball on middle, McCollum gets into position and whacks it to the deep square leg region for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: O Thomas to J McCollum, FOUR! Nicely played! Short of a length ball outside off, McCollum cuts and cuts nicely. The ball races to the backward point region for a boundary. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: R Shepherd to J McCollum, FOUR! Beautiful shot! Short of a length ball outside off, McCollum plays a back foot punch through point. The fielder chases after it, slides but can only drag it into the fence. |
| 7.2: O Thomas to P Stirling, OUT! Caught! Thomas strikes and it is the big man, Stirling who departs. A poor short this one. A back of a length ball around off, Stirling backs away and has a wild swing at the ball. He can only manage an under edge which goes behind. Hope behind makes no mistake. They make a loud appeal and the umpire quickly raises the finger. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: A Joseph to J McCollum, FOUR! McCollum loves playing that shot! Short of a length ball around off, McCollum gets on top of the bounce and cuts it past the point fielder for a boundary. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: O Thomas to A Balbirnie, FOUR! Pulled away nicely! Short delivery on middle, Balbirnie pulls it towards the deep square leg region for a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: O Thomas to J McCollum, OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch from Evin Lewis! Second wicket falls and McCollum who was looking good has to go. Thomas bowls a full delivery on off, McCollum drives but does so uppishly. Evin Lewis stationed at short cover dives to his right and takes a good diving catch. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: R Chase to W Porterfield, OUT! LBW! Porterfield has to make his way back to the pavilion. Chase provides the wicket for the hosts. Floated on middle and off, Porterfield attempts the sweep but misses to get hit flush on the pads. Chase and the rest appeal. The umpire thinks for a while and raises his finger. Porterfield does not even think of a review and starts walking back. Good decision not to review as the Ball Tracker shows that the impact was in line and hitting the stumps. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: R Chase to K O'Brien, FOUR! That's some way to start one's inning. Floated ball outside off, O'Brien leans forward and creams his first ball through the cover region for a boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: R Chase to K O'Brien, FOUR! Elegant! Chase floats this one outside off, O'Brien once again lunges and drives it through the cover region for another boundary. A wicket and 9 runs coming from it. |
| 20.6: O Thomas to A Balbirnie, FOUR! Well timed! Back of a length ball around off, Balbirnie gets on his back foot and punches it through the point region. The fielder chases after it but the ball wins the race and goes into the fence. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: O Thomas to K O'Brien, FOUR! Just short! Back of a length ball on middle, O'Brien looks to flick but gets a top edge towards deep square leg. Pooran comes ahead to try for the catch but it falls short. He neither stops the ball as the ball goes through and into the fence. |

| 24.5 : 24.5: H Walsh to A Balbirnie, FOUR! Flatter delivery outside off, Andy rocks on his back foot and cuts it past the diving point fielder and into the fence. |
| 25.3 : 25.3: R Chase to K O'Brien, OUT! CAUGHT! Roston Chase provides another breakthrough and Kevin O'Brien in an attempt to attack the spinners perishes. Did not need to play this shot at this stage. Chase tosses this one up outside off, O'Brien looks to clear the deep cover fielder with his lofted drive but does not get the distance on it. Nicholas Pooran stationed there takes the catch comfortably. |
| 29.1 : 29.1: R Chase to L Tucker, FOUR! Lovely use of the feet. Chase tosses this one on off, Tucker comes down the track and hammers it towards the long on region for a boundary. |
| 30.4 : 30.4: H Walsh to L Tucker, OUT! TIMBER! This is brilliant bowling from Hayden Walsh. Tucker cannot believe it and he has to make the long walk back to the pavilion. A googly around off, Tucker does not read it and goes for a drive. The ball kisses the off stump. The umpire is not sure whether the ball hit the stumps or the keeper whipped the bails off. The third umpire is called and then the replays roll in. It shows that the ball had just touched the off stump and the bail took ages to come off |
| 31.4: R Chase to A Balbirnie, FOUR! Nicely played from Balbirnie. Floated outside off, Balbirnie prods forward and drives it through the covers for a boundary. |
| 31.6 : 31.6: R Chase to A Balbirnie, SIX! Hammered! Floated on off, Balbirnie bends on his knees and slog sweeps it over the long on region for a biggie. |
| 32.6: H Walsh to A Balbirnie, FOUR! Fifty! 9th in ODIs and first as skipper. This has been a brilliant innings from Balbirnie. He needs to continue for a big one though if the visitors stand any chance to score a big one. He gets to the milestone by punching this flat delivery outside off through the cover region for a boundary. |
| 33.5 : 33.5: R Chase to A Balbirnie, SIX! Massive blow! A floated ball outside off, Balbirnie gets in the position and sweeps it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 36.6 : 36.6: A Joseph to A Balbirnie, FOUR! Well timed! Full delivery on off, Singh drives it beautifully past Joseph and through mid off for a boundary. 150 up for Ireland. |
| 37.4 : 37.4: H Walsh to A Balbirnie, OUT! CAUGHT! Balbirnie is disappointed but cannot do anything. Throws it away after playing an excellent knock. Walsh bowls a flighted ball outside off, Balbirnie lunges to drive but it takes the outside edge and lobs to Chase at point. He takes a simple catch and Ireland sink further. |
| 39.5 : 39.5: H Walsh to S Singh, OUT! LBW! Umpire's call it is and Ireland have lost another one. Brilliant from Walsh. Flatter delivery on middle, Singh looks to flick but misses to get hit flush on the pads. The West Indian players appeal and the umpire thinks for a while and gives it out. Singh goes for the review. The Ball Tracker rolls in and it shows that it was pitching in line, the impact was in line and it is umpire's call on hitting the stumps. |
| 41.2 : 41.2: H Walsh to M Adair, OUT! CAUGHT! Walsh has his fourth and he celebrates! He has been brilliant today and now has a chance to take a 5-fer. Walsh tosses this one up outside off, Adair plays across the line and attempts the slog sweep. It takes the top edge and goes high up in the air. Chase settles himself under it at square leg and pouches it safely. |
| 44.1 : 44.1: A Joseph to A McBrine, FOUR! Short delivery on middle and leg, McBrine pulls it to fine leg. Oshane Thomas runs across from deep square leg and dives. He does not know where the ball is and the ball goes onto touch the ropes. Joseph is not at all impressed with Thomas' piece of fielding. |
| 44.2 : 44.2: A Joseph to A McBrine, SIX! Whacked! Ireland need more of these. Joseph bangs in a short one around middle, McBrine stands tall and pulls it over the backward square leg region for a biggie. |
| 46.4 : 46.4: R Shepherd to B McCarthy, FOUR! Pulled away nicely. Short around middle, McCarthy pulls it towards the deep square leg region for a boundary. |
| 46.5 : 46.5: R Shepherd to B McCarthy, OUT! CAUGHT! Gone! 9th wicket falls and in an attempt to go for the big shots, McCarthy perishes. Full delivery on middle, McCarthy looks to heave it over long on and seems to have timed it well. But it goes straight to Brandon King stationed at long on. This is a big ground and that is why it might have not carried to the ropes. |
| 47.1 : 47.1: O Thomas to C Young, FOUR! Bad ball to start off the over! Down the leg side, Young just helps it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 47.6 : 47.6: O Thomas to A McBrine, FOUR! Good end to the over for Ireland! Back of a length delivery on off, McBrine rocks back and has pulled that one behind square leg uppishly. The umpire have gone upstairs to check whether this one is a boundary or a maximum. Replays roll in and confirm it is a boundary. |
| 49.1 : 49.1: O Thomas to C Young, OUT! CAUGHT! That ends it. Good length ball on middle, Young looks to heave it away to the leg side but gets a top edge and goes miles up in the air. It goes towards long off. Keemo Paul, the substitute, runs across from long off and manages to take the catch. This is a good catch as the long on fielder was also coming across but Paul is conscious of it and makes no mistake. IRELAND HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 203. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: B McCarthy to E Lewis, SIX! Dismissed! McCarthy drops it on a shorter length around middle, Lewis turns inside the crease with his pull shot and sends it whistling over fine leg for a biggie. Lewis is a very powerful striker of the ball and picks the length very early. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: A McBrine to E Lewis, FOUR! Bang! You just cannot afford to drop it short to any batsman, leave alone this one. A half-tracker around off, Lewis sits back and slaps it through covers for a boundary. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: A McBrine to E Lewis, FOUR! Shot! Loopy full ball landing around off, Evin Lewis goes down on one knee and sweeps it sweetly behind square leg for a boundary. This is the shot that he has developed well. Used to be lethal outside off but now has added this shot in his repertoire as well. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: B McCarthy to S Hope, OUT! McCarthy strikes and draws first blood! Hope is very much trapped in front. Brilliant delivery by McCarthy. He spears in a fuller length ball around off at 130 kph and gets it to nip back into the batsman off the seam. Hope attempts to play it across the line but fails to make any connection. The ball strikes him on the pads, they appeal and the umpire lifts his finger after thinking for a while. Shai has a chat with his partner before taking the DRS but the techn |
| 5.6 : 5.6: B McCarthy to E Lewis, FOUR! Lewis will play his shots if it is in his zone. McCarthy delivers it short and around off, Lewis stands tall to get on top of the bounce and whacks it through point for a boundary. 5 runs and a wicket from the over. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: C Young to E Lewis, SIX! Short and gets the treatment. Evin Lewis is in no nonsense mood. Young doesn't learn and continues to bang it in short. It's around off, Lewis picks it early and pulls it powerfully over mid-wicket. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: C Young to S Ambris, FOUR! This is very substandard bowling by Craig Young. He continues to favour the shorter length but his pace is not good enough to hurry the batsman. Ambris joins the party now as he pulls it in front of square leg for a boundary. 12 from the over and West Indies are going on steadily. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: B McCarthy to E Lewis, SIX! Evin Lewis is looking in fine touch. 50 up for West Indies! McCarthy is a little too full around off, Lewis lines up the delivery and launches it over long off. The crowd is enjoying Evin's batting. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: S Singh to S Ambris, OUT! Caught behind! Simi has a wicket in his first over. He dishes out a flatter and shorter delivery outside off, skidding away after landing, Ambris rocks back to cut it square of the wicket but it takes the outside edge and settles into the gloves of Tucker. Not a good outing for Ambris this time around against Ireland. 150 needed off 246 balls. The visitors need to keep chipping away at the wickets to stay in with any chance. |
| 9.6: C Young to E Lewis, FOUR! Drilled down the ground! Superb shot to spoil a good over. Young overpitches this time around off, Lewis needs no second invitation as he bludgeons it down the ground for a boundary at long off. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: S Singh to B King, FOUR! King plays a royal square cut. Short in length and outside off, Brandon hangs on the back foot and strokes it through the line. This time he picks up the gap at point and finds the fence. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: C Young to B King, FOUR! Smashed! That has travelled! Length ball way outside off, King extends his arms and drives this through the gap at cover for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: C Young to B King, FOUR! Another one! This time it is grace! Full ball just outside off, King just drives this nonchalantly through the mid off region for a boundary. |
| 17.3: M Adair to B King, FOUR! Smashed! Short of a length ball on middle, King goes back and pulls it towards the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: M Adair to B King, SIX! Brandon King is some player! That is a brilliant shot! Short delivery on middle, King stands back and hammers the pull over the deep mid-wicket region for a maximum. |
| 21.2 : 21.2: B McCarthy to E Lewis, SIX! BOOM! Out of here! Full ball on middle and off, Lewis has smashed that straight over the bowler's head towards the sightscreen for a biggie. |
| 21.4 : 21.4: B McCarthy to E Lewis, FOUR! Back of a length ball outside off, Lewis looks to flat bat it over long off but mistimes it a bit. Still it goes over the fence on the bounce for a boundary. |
| 21.5 : 21.5: B McCarthy to E Lewis, SIX! Second one of the over! This time McCarthy bowls it short and down the leg side. Lewis swivels and pulls this one over the backward square leg region for another maximum. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: A McBrine to B King, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brandon King has to walk back and he will be disappointed that he has not made the most of his chance here. McBrine bowls a quicker delivery just outside off, King looks to make room and cut behind point but gets a faint edge on it and Lorcan Tucker does the rest as he takes an easy catch. The 75-run stand has been broken and another 75 runs are needed for West Indies to win this match. |
| 24.5 : 24.5: A McBrine to N Pooran, FOUR! McBrine gives this one a bit of air, Pooran comes onto the front foot and lofts it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 24.6 : 24.6: A McBrine to N Pooran, FOUR! This time it is outside off, Pooran has slapped this one through the cover region for a boundary. 13 runs off the over. |
| 28.5 : 28.5: C Young to N Pooran, FOUR! Smashed! Young dishes a short ball on middle, Pooran swivels and pulls it towards deep square leg for a boundary. The fielder comes across but fails to do so. |
| 31.1 : 31.1: A McBrine to N Pooran, SIX! Clinical from Nicholas Pooran. McBrine brings long on inside the ring and bowls a floated one on off, Pooran hammers it over the infield for a biggie in that region. |
| 32.6 : 32.6: C Young to N Pooran, FOUR! Nicely played! Full delivery outside off, Pooran presses forward and drives it excellently past the point fielder for a boundary. Pooran will be also eyeing a fifty now! |
| 34.4 : 34.4: C Young to E Lewis, FOUR! CENTURY! Finally, in this series, Lewis crosses the line. Missed out by 1 run in the first match but not this time. It is his third ton ODIs. Short of a length ball on middle, Lewis swivels and pulls it to the deep square leg region for a boundary. The crowd roars to acknowledge his knock. |
| 34.5 : 34.5: C Young to E Lewis, OUT! CAUGHT! Lewis tries to finish with a bang but perishes in the process. Full delivery outside off, Lewis looks to hammer it over long off but does not time it at all. He miscues it in the air and Kevin O'Brien at long off takes the simplest of catches. End of a brilliant innings which has put his team on the cusp of a comprehensive win. |
| 35.3 : 35.3: A McBrine to R Shepherd, OUT! CAUGHT! West Indies going for the glory shot are losing some wickets here. McBrine tosses this one up on middle, Shepherd looks to heave it over the long on fielder and bring glory to his side but does not get the required distance on it. Mark Adair settles himself and takes a simple catch in the deep. 4 runs required and they can achieve it in singles. But they want to go for the big shot and finish it off in style. |
| 36.2 : 36.2: B McCarthy to N Pooran, FOUR! Magnificent shot to finish the game! McCarthy bowls a short of a length delivery on the pads, Pooran rocks back and pulls it towards the deep square leg region for a boundary. WEST INDIES WIN BY 5 WICKETS (DLS method) AND TAKE THE SERIES 3-0! |
