IREvWI Live: 2nd T20 delayed by rain, inspection 8:30 PM

The first T20I between Ireland and West Indies on Thursday was called off due to consistent rain at Bready Cricket Club. Both teams will hope to get clear skies and face off in the remainder of the series.

Shai Hope’s West Indies will be aiming to bounce back after a difficult tour of England, where it lost all six white-ball matches. Ireland is not as formidable an opponent as England — the Paul Stirling-led side gave a good account of its competitiveness last month as it drew a three-match One-Day International series against the Windies 1-1.

THE SQUADS

Ireland: Paul Stirling (c), Mark Adair, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), George Dockrell, Ross Adair, Gareth Delany, Curtis Campher, Matthew Humphreys, Craig Young, Barry McCarthy, Benjamin White, Joshua Little, Liam McCarthy.

West Indies: Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles, Shai Hope (wk) (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford (vc), Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Matthew Forde, Keacy Carty, Jyd Goolie.
