Top 3 batters to watch out for in Ireland vs West Indies first T20I

The three-match T20 series between Ireland and the West Indies will start from June 12 to June 15. Captain Shai Hope will lead the Windies cricket team once again, and he will also be one of the key batters for the West Indies team on their tour to Ireland. 

Windies lost the T20 series against England as Jos Buttler and skipper Harry Brook chased down the massive total of 197 and sealed the series for the team. So, winning the series in Ireland is very important for them. Check out the top 3 batters in the 1st T20 game.

1. Paul Striling (Ireland)

The veteran Irish batter Paul Striling has been one of the greatest batters from Ireland. The opener has a great record of scoring big, especially against the West Indies. He also played well during the ODI series against the West Indies last month. In that, Striling became the first Irish batter to cross 10,000 ODI runs. So, he is expected to score big in this upcoming T20 series.

2. Sherfane Rutherford (West Indies)

Rutherford is one big power hitter in the Windies team, and T20 cricket is a game for big hitters. The two-time IPL winner will be the key batter who can win matches for the West Indies team. His experience of playing for the Gujarat Titans in the IPL will be a learning curve for him. Rutherford is expected to play in the middle and death overs against Ireland. 

3. Shai Hope (West Indies)

Another batter who is expected the most was Shai Hope. He is one of the best batters from the West Indies team. The newly appointed captain has already lost the T20 series against England. But hope can revive his team by winning the series against Ireland on their home turf. Shai Hope also plays at the top order and can score big and help his team start the Ireland T20 series on a winning note.
