World Twenty 20 International: West Indies vs Ireland Match Preview Odds & Predictions
West Indies
Ireland
West Indies will lock horns with Ireland in the T20 World Cup on Saturday. West Indies have won three of their last four games, while Ireland have lost their last four games. Not only that, the West Indies have won four of the last five head-to-head games against Ireland. Can the West Indies dominate here?
West Indies Preview
West Indies lost their last game by 38 runs to England, ending their three-game winning streak. West Indies were better in this World Cup, but unfortunately, they have given England a chance to take the lead in Group 2. Nevertheless, they still have a chance to qualify for the playoff semi-final. They are in better form, having won three of their last four games, with leads over New Zealand by seven wickets, Scotland by seven runs, and Sri Lanka by five wickets. They currently sit in second position in Group 2 with six points from four matches.
West Indies XI
Pathum Nissanka, Lahiru Udara, Nishan Madushka, Dinesh Chandimal, Pasindu Sooriyabandara, Kamindu Mendis, Sonal Dinusha, Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva (c), Milan Rathnayake, Prabath Jayasuriya.
Ireland Preview
Ireland lost their last game by nine wickets to Sri Lanka, extending their losing streak to four games. Ireland has been very disappointing in this World Cup encounter, failing to record a victory. They have lost four games: to Scotland by 40 runs, England by four wickets, New Zealand by four runs, and, in their last match, to Sri Lanka by nine wickets. They currently sit 6th in Group 2 with zero points from four games played.
Ireland XI

West Indies vs Ireland Prediction
The West Indies have shown their dominance over Ireland in the head-to-head series, securing victories in four of their last five games. So, with the momentum high in the West Indies’ camp, they should find a way to extend their dominance in this clash. And also, they have won three of their last four World Cup clashes, while Ireland have failed to record victories, losing their last four games. With the value offered for West Indies to win low, I think it is better to make a prediction in the points market. My prediction is over 184.5, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.91.
