West Indies will be under pressure when they take on Ireland in the T20 World Cup 2022 contest on Friday (October 21) morning. After losing their opening game to Scotland, they came back strongly to beat the Zimbabwean side to collect their first points. Thie Group B is quite tight in terms of qualification for the Super 12 stage. Windies' opponent Ireland have one win from 2 games, so does Scotland and so does Ireland. So a win for any side tomorrow will take them to the next round. Ireland play West Indies in the afternoon match (9.30 am IST) while Zimbabwe play Scotland in the evening match (1.30 pm IST).
Windies have many concerns, one of them is their batting. The batters are not firing. Captain Nicholas Pooran himself has been in terrible form of late and even the likes of Rovman Powell, Kyle Mayers and Evin Lewis have failed to live up to expectations so far. Windies need these players to step up on Friday to deliver the goods.
Ireland, on the other hand, will be banking on the likes of Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie(c), Lorcan Tucker and Curtis Campher. They are a very good side and they just need to remember their brilliant records while playing World Cups. They have pulled off upsets before and it would not be wrong to say that if they end up beating Pooran's Windies in this match, it should not be called an 'upset'.
A fiery spell of 4/16 _
