Although Ireland has increased their strength compared to before, I would still agree with you that they are actually benefiting more from the fact that the match is in Dublin. And it is normal that every country plays better in its own ground  in most cases.
Anyway, after 15 overs, Ireland have managed to score 77 runs and have not lost any wickets, the current run rate is 5.13.
It is actually a really good sign for Ireland that despite being stronger than the West Indies team, they are still playing well without losing a wicket against them. However, I still have doubts about the result of the match because nothing can be said after only 15 overs. If Ireland can score above 280 runs, then they may have a chance of winning.

Some sort of fightback from West Indies. Both Paul Stirling and Cade Carmichael are back in pavilion. Harry Tector has joined Andy Balbirnie at the crease, but the latter has been very slow in scoring today. So far he has made 68 from 105 balls, at a strike rate of less than 65. Time has come for him to step up his scoring rate. They have a lot of batting to come, but doesn't have too many overs remaining. Lorcan Tucker, George Dockrell and Andy McBrine are next to come, and they do have depth in batting.
