Ireland vs West Indies Match 1st T20 Preview

IRE vs WI Both Teams’ Last 5 Matches Record

Both Ireland and West Indies have had bad white-ball forms in recent matches. Ireland have managed to win one match out of their last five matches. That win came in September 2024, marking 10 months since the last Ireland win in T20Is. West Indies are also having a terrible white-ball form in the last five, losing all five matches. However, West Indies recently played against England, who were very dominant on their home soil, which restricted West Indies from making an impact. This could be a fortune-changing and confidence-gaining series for both teams. Both can try to take advantage of the poor form of each other to win a match.

Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast Pitch Report

Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast offers a balanced pitch to the teams playing here. This pitch offers help to the fast bowlers in the initial overs because of the weather of Belfast. The weather here is very windy, making the ball move around a lot in the first half of the game. Keeping that in mind fast bowlers can make use of both swing and pace with the new ball. Bowlers like Mark Adair have done very well on this pitch with his early swing. Batsmen have to play cautiously during the powerplay. But batting is also quite helpful on this surface after the first few overs making it an average scoring venue. The average first-innings score is around 124 to 128 runs. A total of 25 T20I matches have been played here, with the chasing team winning 15 of them.

IRE vs WI Head-to-Head Records in T20I

These two teams have played a total of eight matches against each other in the T20 format, which includes two no-result matches. The other six matches are divided into three wins each. The last time these two teams played against each other was an important ICC Men's T20 World Cup match, where the Irish team eliminated West Indies out of the tournament after a 9-wicket win over them. 

Batting first, West Indies scored 146/5. Brandon King scored 62 runs, but a three-fer from Gareth Delany took the match away from West Indies. When Ireland came out to chase, Paul Stirling and Lorcan Tucker gave nothing away to the West Indies to celebrate, chasing the target in just 17.3 overs.
