West Indies and Ireland will resume their rivalry with a three-match ODI series that gets underway on January 8 at Sabina Park in Jamaica. The match will start at 12:30 PM IST

This is going to be a thrilling series. Both teams are laced with some exciting talents who will be willing to make the most of this series. West Indies are a powerhouse team in shorter formats and have the quality to decimate any opposition. However, they are very inconsistent, but that’s understandable given the brand of cricket they play.

Ireland, on the other hand, have shown impressive growth in recent times. However, there is still a lot of scope for improvement. West Indies have not played ODI cricket of late. They recently played a T20I series against Pakistan, in which they lost 3-0. However, they were without some of the big guns, and many of them will be back for this series. The three ODIs of the Pakistan tour were cancelled.

Meanwhile, Ireland last played a two-match T20I series against the USA. They lost the first game but bounced back to win the other.

Date –Jan 08, 2022

Time -20:00 IST / 14:30 GMT

Venue -Sabina Park – Kingston, Jamaica
