Ireland vs West Indies Chance of Winning

Ireland head into this series after an underwhelming performance in ODIs in the last calendar year. They head into this series after back to back series defeats against Afghanistan, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Ireland have lost six of the last eight matches and would be hoping to turn things around this term.

West Indies would be hoping to continue their excellent form into this series. They have been dominant in this fixture in the past and have won back to back series against England and Bangladesh. As per our calculations, West Indies are favourites in the upcoming game.

Ireland vs West Indies Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Andy Balbirnie has struggled to make an impact in ODIs last year. Balbirnie scored 71 runs in five innings which clearly showcases his struggle. We believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Brandon King was brilliant last season in the ODI format for West Indies. Kings head into this game after a century and a half century in the last four matches which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Ireland vs West Indies Match Toss Prediction

Historically the venue has suited the team that bowl first. The last two of the three matches have been won by the team that bowled first which makes us believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game.

Weather Report

Ireland vs West Indies Betting Odds

West Indies to have a better opening partnership than Ireland

Ireland and West Indies go head to head in the ODI series for the first time since 2022. This fixture has been dominated by West Indies in the past but in the last series Ireland managed to win both the games. Ireland have struggled in the last few series in this format as they lost the series against Afghanistan, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Ireland have won just twice in the last eight matches. On the other hand West Indies head into this series after impressive performances against England and Bangladesh as they won both the series. Looking at West Indies' record in this fixture we expect them to be dominant in this series and looking at the bowling attack of both sides we expect West Indies to take wickets with the new ball and to have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
