West Indies will take on Ireland on Friday in a do or die contest. West Indies tasted defeat in their opening match of the tournament as Scotland pulled off an upset to beat them by 42 runs, which is quite a big margin in this format. Although the bowlers did a good job, the batting failed miserably. West Indies' coach Phil Simmons even expressed his disappointment at the performance of their batters in the match. But the Caribbean team made amends soon as they delivered a thoroughly professional performance in the very next match against Zimbabwe, winning it by 31 runs. Johnson Charles, Rovman Powell and Akeal Hossein played good knocks while Alzarri Joseph breathed fire with the ball, registering superb figures of 4/16. They will now be looking to carry the momentum and confidence forward into this match. West Indies had quite a disappointing outing in the last T20 World Cup and they surely can't afford an exit at least before qualifying for the Super 12s this time.

Ireland, on the other hand, are also coming into this match on the back of a morale-boosting win against Scotland. They rode on Curtis Campher's superb knock of 72 from 32 deliveries to chase down a challenging total of 177. Not only that, Campher had also registered figures of 2/9 with the ball earlier in the match, which sums up how big an impact he made on Ireland's fortunes in the game.
