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

Ireland and the West Indies will take on each other in a T20 series of 3 matches. The Men in Maroon are on a tour of the United Kingdom, which began with the ODI series against Ireland, which ended without a comprehensive winner. While the series was tied 1-2, the visiting side had tougher things to follow them.

They then toured England and lost both ODI and T20I series 0-3, which calls for a major comeback. Against Ireland, the 2-time world champions start as the favorites. The first of the 3 T20Is will take place at the Bready Cricket Ground on June 12.

Here are the top 3 player battles to watch out for in the first T20I:

1. Josh Little vs. Evin Lewis

Josh Little is one of the best T20 bowlers post-pandemic. He has a hat-trick to his name in the T20 World Cup. The left-arm pacer can swing the ball at a good pace to trouble the batters.

He could have a challenge facing Evin Lewis, who is one of the most underrated T20 batters since his debut. The southpaw is an aggressive batter and can smash the best bowlers in the world for fun. Their battle could shape the entire series.

2. Paul Stirling vs. Alzarri Joseph

Paul Stirling is one of the most experienced players in the world. For his age, Stirling has been doing a great job for Ireland. If the home side must beat WI, the veteran’s form will be key.

To stop him, the key weapon of the visiting side would be Alzarri Joseph. The right-arm pacer can swing and seam the ball at a good pace and can generate extra bounce due to his height. In the series against England, he bowled well, which would’ve given him a lot of confidence.

3. Harry Tector vs. Gudakesh Motie

Harry Tector is one of the upcoming talents in world cricket. He has the ability to take on the best bowlers in the world. Tector is a good player of spin and can anchor the innings well.

The best way to stop him would be to dry up runs from his end to put pressure at the other end. In the process, Tector might be forced to commit mistakes himself. Motie is one of the most economical bowlers and troubles batters a lot.
