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.
As I said, if Ireland could score more than 280 runs, then Ireland would have a better chance of winning, which is exactly what happened.
Ireland scored 303 runs and loss just 6 wickets.

On the other hand, the West Indies were all out for just 179 runs. When I saw Ireland cross 280, I thought Ireland would win, but I didn't expect it would be by such a big margin. As you said, the Irish team will have an advantage because of this match being held in Dublin, and at the same time, the Irish team is performing well.
