West Indies beat Ireland by 5 wickets (D/L method)
That's it from the ODI series then. West Indies have equaled Sri Lanka in terms of points in the ICC ODI rankings with this 3-0 series win. Now, it is time for some T20I action as both West Indies and Ireland take on each other in the 3-match T20 series, the first one of which will be played on January 15 Wednesday. The game will begin at 1300 local (1700 GMT). We will love your company for that game. Till then, take care!
Kieron Pollard, West Indies skipper, starts by saying that he is really pleased with the performance. Credits the bowlers for superb outings in all the games. Feels that they were accurate with respect to lines and lengths. Praises the batting from centurion Lewis, King and Pooran for their contribution. On the team changes, Pollard says that they have had discussions on the changes in the dressing room. Talking about Hetmyer missing out from this game, Pollard tells that it is good for West Indies cricket as it tells the dynamics of the side.
Andy Balbirnie, Ireland skipper, tells that they were outclassed by the West Indies bowlers. Feels that 250-260 should've been a good total. Adds that he is really proud of the boys and they will continue working hard. On the positives from the series, Balbirnie believes that the second game was a positive one for them. Feels they had a chance to win the game but they missed out on that one. Finishes by saying that they have the right balance in the squad and they have brought in some freshness to the T20I squad.
EVIN LEWIS IS NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH AND SERIES! Tells that he certainly is a relieved man as all the hard work he put in the nets came off today. Shares that his approach has not changed and adds that there was some spin but it was a really good wicket for batting. On his missed chance of scoring a century in the first ODI, Lewis says that he was determined this time to execute his plans and is delighted to score his maiden century in the Caribbean. Lets everyone know that the captain and coach are backing the players well and all their hard work in the nets is coming off nicely.
Ireland were extremely poor with their batting approach and apart from Andy Balbirnie, there was no fight shown by them. Hayden Walsh had a brilliant game where he claimed the third 4-wicket haul by a West Indian bowler in this series. During the chase, Evin Lewis displayed excellent form and stroked his third ODI ton. His partnerships with Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran were enough to see West Indies home.
A walk in the park for West Indies! They were not convincing in the last match but have produced a clinical win here to complete a clean sweep. The hosts never got pushed in this match. First, their bowlers were right on the button to restrict Ireland to a paltry total and then their batsmen stepped up to scale down the target without breaking a sweat.

OUT! CAUGHT! West Indies going for the glory shot are losing some wickets here.

Mark Adair settles himself and takes a simple catch in the deep. 4 runs required and they can achieve it in singles. But they want to go for the big shot and finish it off in style.

Floated outside off, Lewis drives it to deep cover for a single.
A big chunk of dark cloud is approaching the stadium. It's still bright and sunny but it has started to drizzle. Slightly strange as the umpires have called for covers under bright sunshine. And now... it's spitting down as the players leave the field. West Indies are 58 runs away from clean sweeping Ireland. They are also 58 runs ahead of the par score according to the DLS method. Lewis on 84 will be praying that the match resumes soon. Stay tuned...

McBrine bowls a quicker delivery just outside off, King looks to make room and cut behind point but gets a faint edge on it and Lorcan Tucker does the rest as he takes an easy catch. Identical to the way Ambris lost his wicket. The 75-run stand has been broken and another 75 runs are needed for West Indies to win this match.

Drinks! West Indies are enjoying a decent position in the game. Lewis is going along nicely while King who joined him after the dismissal of Ambris is looking solid too. Ireland need wickets quickly or else these two can run away with the game really quickly. Let's see if the visitors find some inspiration in the coming hour and have some say in this match.

OUT! Caught behind! Simi has a wicket in his first over. He dishes out a flatter and shorter delivery outside off, skidding straight on after landing, Ambris rocks back to cut it square of the wicket but it takes the outside edge and settles into the gloves of Tucker. Not a good outing for Ambris this time around against Ireland. 150 needed off 246 balls. The visitors need to keep chipping away at the wickets to stay in with any chance.

Barry McCarthy To Shai Hope OUT!
OUT! McCarthy strikes and draws first blood! Hope is very much trapped in front. Brilliant delivery by McCarthy. He spears in a fuller length ball around off at 130 kph and gets it to nip back into the batsman off the seam. Hope attempts to play it across the line but fails to make any connection. The ball strikes him on the pads, they appeal and the umpire lifts his finger after thinking for a while. Shai has a chat with his partner before taking the DRS but the technology doesn't aid him here. No bat on the Ultra Edge and the Ball Tracker shows that everything is in line and the leg stump is getting disturbed. The only review is consumed. Yet another average outing for Hope in this series. Let's see what Sunil Ambris can do now as he joins Lewis out in the middle.
LBW Shout! Up goes the finger. Shai Hope is not looking too confident here. He walks up to his partner and has a chat. Takes the DRS after that. The Ultra Edge finds no wood and the Ball Tracker returns three reds.

Back for the run chase, folks! There is no rain threat currently as the sun is out but there are a few clouds around too. Out come the Irish players on the field. They were dismal with the bat and now will have to bowl out of their skins to make a match out of this one. West Indies are opening with Shai Hope and Evin Lewis and would hope that their openers provide a good start, unlike the last two ODIs. Spin to begin for Ireland. It's Andy McBrine to roll his arm. A slip in place...
