Preview for Dream11 Fantasy
It was a close shave for West Indies in the second ODI against Ireland. The visitors almost pulled off a brilliant victory but didn’t have the luck on the side. While this kind of win is a morale-boosting one for the hosts, it is also a wake-up call for them. They can’t be casual whatsoever and have got to be at their best at all times.
With the series already in their bag, West Indies will fancy winning the final game of the series as well and accomplishing a clean sweep. Ireland, on the other hand, will want to compete just as hard as they did in the last game. This time, though, they would like to finish on the positive side of the result and register a victory before they shift to the shortest format of the game.
