Ireland vs West Indies, 1st ODI at Dublin, IRE vs WI, May 21 2025 - Match Result

Easiest of catches at mid-on! Launched straight into the sky and miscued it completely, shortish delivery around the line off, labored pull and Josh Little called it early and settled under it. Ireland have won by 124 runs, massive feat!

Good length and pushed wide of off, spins in a touch, attempted cut

Given some flight and plenty of width, he takes the bait and larrups it down the ground, pouched comfortably by the fielder at long-off. Excellent spell of bowling, he's doing a stellar job in wrapping up the tail as WI inch closer to a massive defeat. This was given extra bit of flight and his eyes lit up, wanted to hit a few out of the park instead of dying wondering and didn't want to just hang around

Good length and outside off, stands tall, opens the face to punch it down to cover-point

Fuller and outside off, advances and thumps it past extra cover for four, got plenty of legs to reach the rope, dominating shot

Good length and offers some room, opens the face and steers it behind backward point for a gorgeous boundary, doesn't become the hattrick victim

Makes an impact straightaway, continues to produce magic. Settled into his rhythm in no time, bags his second. Another beautifully tossed up delivery, zeroing in on the stumps, he steps back and gets an under-edge, drags the ball back onto the stumps and now the resistance from WI is melting away quickly

Searing in towards off from a good length, tapped to cover fielder inside the ring

Skiddy from a slightly shorter length, he jockeys across middle and tries to work it away, gets hit on the pads, height looks like an issue, lbw appeal turned down

Skids through from back of a length, wide of off line, left alone

One slip in place. Shortens his length, ball, straightens down the line middle and off, shanks it back to the bowler

Fraction short and angling in at off, inside-edge goes behind square on the leg side, quick intervention inside the ring

Dug in short around the line off, tries to club a pull off the backfoot and gets beaten comprehensively

Forces him to lunge at it and he was guessing which way the ball is going to spin, arm ball kept going on with the arm, he plays down the wrong line and the ball disturbs the furniture. Marvelously bowled, extra zip and floated fuller, making him play, got the prized scalp and broke the threatening partnership[p

Quicker and fuller, errs down the leg side, keeper can't get it, everybody misses it and the ball dribbles away to the rope at fine leg

Pushed full on off, leans out and drives it nicely to deep extra cover

Dances down the track to create his own length and clubs it for a six over the bowler's head, stamps his authority on the bowler. It's a superb fightback from West Indies, keeping them in the contest

Zips it quicker and outside off, patted away to short cover-point

Around the wicket, tossed full on middle, driven to long-off

driven down the ground but not that far from the bowler
