WI beat IRE by 52 runs | West Indies vs Ireland, Highlights And Cricket Score 13th ODI Match

That's all we have from this game. Rejoice for the Windies but all is not lost for Ireland. They still have a game to go and will be up against UAE. Do join us for that game on 12th March, 2018 at 0930 Local (0730 GMT). Until then, goodbye and cheers!

Ireland skipper, William Porterfield straightaway blames those dropped chances to be the big reason for their loss. Feels they were pretty much on top when they had picked up 5 quick wickets but once again rues the dropped catches which let the game slip away. Ends by saying that they have to pull their socks up and will look to give it their all to grab those two points.

Smiling Windies skipper, Jason Holder says it's a good feeling to have qualified for the next stage. Credits Ireland for the way they have played. States they can't put any foot wrong now and that they don't want to be complacent. Is proud of his boys for their effort and calls each and every game as an important one. Admits they need to improve their batting department as they have struggled to get a good start.

Man of the Match, Rovman Powell calls his ton a big confidence-booster and wants to keep doing it for his side. Adds it was his dream to play for the Windies and score a century, when he did today, he was all emotional. States when he came in to bat, they had over 30 overs to go and knew if he bats through, he can definitely take his team to a par score.

After removing the Irish skipper for a duck, they sneaked a couple more quickly to kill the run chase. However, Ed Joyce and Kevin O'Brien did offer some resistance and at one stage they were motoring along quite smoothly. But Kemar Roach came back well and struck twice in the same over to remove both the set batsmen and drifted the game in his side's favor. He picked up a 4-fer, while Williams wiped off the lower order to equal the tally with the former. Overall, it was a clinical win for the Windies and a rather disappointing show from the Irish. Stay tuned for the presentation.

So, the Windies qualify for the Super Six stage and the smiles on their faces sums up what this means to them. After staging a remarkable fightback, led by skipper Holder and Powell, they have ran through the Irish batting line-up to make it three straight wins a row in group stages. The Windies' bowlers were really disciplined throughout the innings and never did they let the Irish side off the hook.
