Right then, a run-fest comes to a close. Paul Stirling set the stage on fire with his remarkable knock and powered Ireland to a total which eventually proved to be enough to edge out the home team. The action now shifts to St Kitts where both the remaining T20Is of this series will be played. The first one is on 18th January at 1800 local (2200 GMT). Do join us for the coverage. Cheers!
Man of the Match, Paul Stirling, says it was a really good pitch and they put up a good score and they felt they were in the game throughout. Further adds the Windies were up with the rate all the time, it was touch and go throughout and they enjoyed the game and is happy to get over the line. Also says, you have different mindsets in a T20 game as there is more freedom in this format. Ends by saying they needed to keep taking wickets, it is a daunting task watching those big men come in but they tried to take wickets at regular basis.
Let's talk about the last 4 overs of the run chase. It was pulsating. With 45 needed off 24 balls, Ireland started to gain control. They even went on to get a firm grip once George Dockrell bowled a 2-run 17th over, making the required equation - 43 off 18 balls. Just when we thought that Ireland will dictate terms, Nicholas Pooran and Sherfane Rutherford smashes Barry McCarthy for 27 runs in an over to nearly put the chase to bed. 16 off 2 overs is pretty straightforward to achieve in this format but West Indies somehow managed to threw it away. Craig Young came up with a superb penultimate over where he removed Pooran and gave away only 3 runs. 9 out of 10 times, a team will score 13 runs in the final over with Dwayne Bravo and Sherfane Rutherford in the middle. But that didn't happen this time around. Joshua Little kept his calm and bowled a pinpoint last over to take Ireland over the line.
It was a see-saw battle in literal sense! The pendulum kept swinging from one side to the another and there was never a moment that a team entirely felt in control. Chasing 209 was never going to be easy but given the firepower that West Indies possessed in their batting attack, the run chase was always on. They initiated decently in the Powerplay, not going hammer and tongs like the Irishmen and laid the foundation. Evin Lewis once again looked in supreme touch but once he got out, Ireland started to grow in the match. However, Kieron Pollard and Shimron Hetmyer's counter-punch kept the visitors on the edge of their seats.
What a nail-biter! Ufff...that went right down to the wire and eventually Ireland managed to hang onto this match by the skin of their teeth. They needed this win after getting thumped in the ODI series.

It is bowled on middle and leg, on the shorter side, Pollard looks to hammer it straight down the ground but it is not hit properly. It goes to wide of the long on fielder. Dockrell comes across, slides and takes it, losing his cap in the process. 59 required from 34 balls. Can the Irishmen win it from here?

NOT OUT! It indeed is pitching outside leg. Ireland lose their review. It was more in hope I believe, they are desperate for a wicket and probably that was the reason they took it. It hits the pad of Hetmyer as he tries to flick. A huge appeal by the bowler but the umpire shakes his head. The Irish skipper signals the 'T'. Time for the replays and it shows the on-field call is the right one.

Joshua Little To Lendl Simmons OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch! A screamer from George Dockrell! Unbelievable. Ireland are ecstatic and rightly so. A length delivery on off, Simmons opens up with the intention to power it over mid off but loses his shape badly. He ends up slicing it over the cover region. George Dockrell comes across from deep point, sees from the corner of his eye that Simi Singh is running in from the circle. George though does well to keep his eyes and concentration on the ball and dives forward to complete a stunner of a catch. He jumps and starts celebrating. A good little knock from Simmons comes to an end.

FOUR! That is just placed! Brilliant shot, beautifully timed. It is slightly fuller and around off, Simmons leans into it and just creams it through extra cover for a boundary.
