WI vs IRE Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of Ireland tour of the West Indies, 2022 For 1st ODI

WI vs IRE: Ireland is on a tour of the West Indies for a 3-match ODI series and a T20I, starting from the 8th of January with the first ODI. All the matches of this tour are scheduled to be played at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.

West Indies were last scheduled to play against Pakistan in the three-match ODI series. However, the three-match series was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Though ODIs didn’t go as per the plan, West Indies featured in a three-match T20I series against the Men in Green and were thoroughly bashed by them as they lost the series 0-3.

Kieron Pollard will lead the team with Shai Hope being his deputy. Shimron Hetmyer, however, won’t be available for the series as he has failed the fitness Test, while Andre Russell will also miss out on the series.

Ireland, on the other hand, was scheduled to play 2 ODIs against the USA last month, but the series got postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Andrew Balbirnie will lead the side in this series. Lorcan Tucker and Barry McCarthy are other important players on the side.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats, updates and dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for 1st ODI of the Ireland tour of the West Indies, 2021.
