West Indies gave themselves a lifeline in the T20 World Cup with a win over Zimbabwe in the qualifiers. The team found themselves in trouble on many occasions throughout the game but the team never gave up to finally claim two points. The win certainly would have given the team a lot of confidence which had hit rock bottom after a shock loss against Scotland. Next up for them is a match against Ireland at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. The game has a lot riding on it with Ireland on the same points as West Indies. The Irish boys lost their opening game against Zimbabwe but fought back in style versus Scotland, certainly the game of the tournament so far. There is added pressure on both these teams and it will be interesting to see which team keeps themselves calm.

Johnson Charles and Rovman Powell top-scored for the West Indies in their previous match but the other batters were largely poor. The middle order had a collapse of sorts and the team will need to improve immensely against Ireland. In terms of bowling, the team did not have the best of starts but up stepped Alzarri Joseph when his side needed him the most. Ireland will do well to play out this talented pacer.
Ireland's chase was historic in many sense against Scotland as they got to 180 despite being 61/4 at one stage. Curtis Campher smashed the bowlers to all parts of the ground on his way to a 32-ball 72. If they can bat in a similar fashion against West Indies, they will be really fancying their chances. The Irish bowling particularly at the death is a problem area that needs a quick fix. ICC T20 World Cup 2022 First Round Points Table Live Updated.
