West Indies are favorites to win
The penultimate game in Pool B of the 2022 T20 World Cup sees West Indies go head to head with Ireland on Friday afternoon at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. All four teams in Pool B have won one and lost one which means that a victory in this game will guarantee passage to the Super 12 stage. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 15:00 local time.
West Indies were much improved against Zimbabwe and looked far more like their usual selves than against Scotland. If their batters can deliver then they should be able to get the victory.
Ireland have beaten Afghanistan and Scotland across their last three IT20s. They will not be intimidated against West Indies and have the players to cause an upset.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
The last two matches in Pool B have seen the toss winning captain choose to bat first. It would be no surprise if both skippers elect to bat first in this match.
A par score will be no higher than 165 on this surface. Generally it has been the pace and seam bowlers who have had more joy instead of the spinners.
Cloudy and humid with some sunny spells. We expect rain to arrive later in the evening but not to interrupt this match.

In spite of their embarrassing defeat to Scotland on Monday, West Indies made only one enforced change ahead of the game against Zimbabwe. Brandon King had to miss the game through illness with Johnson Charles taking his place in the side.
West Indies ended their losing streak of three IT20 games when they beat Zimbabwe on Wednesday.

As we have seen across most of their IT20 games this year, Ireland have a very settled team and the management certainly know who their first choice XI is. There are no injuries in the squad and we expect Ireland to be unchanged for this match. The Ireland XI picks itself due to their run of successful results and they will not make changes unless there are injuries in the team. They have a very experienced and talented middle order who can cause any team problems when they are in form.
Ireland are in good form and have won two of their last three IT20s.
Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Simi Singh, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little
West Indies and Ireland fixtures in IT20s are often very close contests. West Indies lead the overall head to head 3-2 but the last three game series between the sides ended 1-1

The bookmakers are backing West Indies to win this game and progress to the Super 12 stage. However, Ireland’s chances have not been completely written off.

With Pool B having four teams on two points, there could well be some nervous moments in this match. West Indies will hope their big match experience counts for a great deal.
We recommend Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers and Evin Lewis with the bat for West Indies. Lewis hit 53 runs from 29 balls in the last IT20 series between the teams.
Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker and Curtis Campher are our batting picks for Ireland. Tucker has Ireland’s highest score in this format in 2022. He hit 78 against South Africa in August.
Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy and Jason Holder are our bowling tips for West Indies. McCoy got the big wicket of Sean Williams in the win over Zimbabwe.
We are backing Josh Little, Mark Adair and Curtis Campher with the ball for Ireland. Adair has taken three wickets in this competition so far.
This game is all set to be a classic contest with fans of both sides and neutrals likely to follow this match very closely. A victory for either team will see them progress to the next stage and we are predicting a very tight match. Overall, we are backing West Indies to win.
