Ireland will host the West in the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series at the Castle Avenue in Dublin on May 23. This clash is part of the West Indies tour of Ireland 2025, comprising three ODIs and as many T20Is.
Following a commanding 124-run victory in the first ODI, Ireland will aim to clinch the series, while the West Indies side will be eager to bounce back.Â
IRE vs WI Match PreviewÂ
Ireland’s thumping win in the series-opener showcased their growing prowess in white-ball cricket. Batting first after the West Indies opted to bowl, Ireland posted a formidable 303-run total, powered by Andy Balbirnie (112 runs off 138 balls) and half-centuries from captain Paul Stirling (54 runs off 64 balls) and Harry Tector (56 runs off 51 balls).Â

The bowling unit, led by Barry McCarthy’s four-wicket haul (4/32) and George Dockrell’s three scalps (3/21), dismantled the West Indies for 179 runs, securing Ireland’s biggest ODI win by runs against a Full Member nation.
The West Indies, under the captaincy of Shai Hope, struggled in the first ODI, collapsing to 31/5 early in their chase. A fighting 98-run partnership between Roston Chase (55 runs off 76 balls) and Matthew Forde (38 runs off 48 balls) for the seventh wicket offered some resistance, but it was not enough to challenge Ireland’s dominance.
Their top-order, including Brandon King, Evin Lewis and Keacy Carty, needs to fire to set a solid platform. Chase’s all-round contribution and Forde’s resilience were the only positives. The hosts must address early batting collapses.Â
