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.

The first ODI game of West Indies tour of Ireland was won by host country by a big margin of 124 runs, astonishing the audience. Batting first, Ireland put together an impressive total of 303 runs thanks to a collective effort from the top and middle order. The batsmen played with intent, rotating strike effectively and capitalizing on loose deliveries to set a challenging target.
In response, West Indies never really got going. Despite a steady start their innings quickly unraveled as Ireland's bowlers found rhythm and control. Tight lines, clever variations and energetic fielding saw wickets fall at regular intervals. West Indies eventually bowled out at 179 runs falling well short of the target. This victory is a hige boost for Irish cricket showcasing their progress and growing confidence in the international stage.
