Ireland has got off to a strong start against West Indies in their first ODI match. It is interesting, because both the openers (Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie) were in poor recent form. The match is taking place at Castle Avenue in Dublin, and therefore Irish batsmen have the home advantage. For now, they are taking on the West Indian bowlers with ease. Pacers such as Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph were not able to trouble the batsmen, while Gudakesh Motie is not getting much advantage from the track.
