Group B - Ireland, Scotland, West Indies, Zimbabwe

[_Ed_]

Poised for two fascinating games today to decide who goes through, weather-permitting. Hope the rain stays away.

We are going home...by the looks of it

 

[straw man]

If both matches go ahead I'm picking Zimbabwe > Scotland and Ireland to upset WI.

 

[CricAddict]

All 4 teams right now look equally matched. Hope the rain stays away and we get two thrilling matches.

 

[Niall]

Ireland don't play well twice in a row, hopefully the West Indies are gentle when they pound them.

Weather looks OK at this stage, judging from this Cricket Ireland post:

Cricket Ireland

Welcome to Bellerive Oval for this men’s ICC T20 World Cup match between Ireland and West Indies. An early morning start back home, but not too early for a: "C’mon Ireland!" #BackingGreen...

Pretty ordinary shot from Mayers there.

Campher's coming back down to earth a bit today - 0-28 from two overs so far.

 

[CricAddict]

A wonderful innings from Lewis comes to an end.

 

[straw man]

Looks like another 150-160 par-ish score batting first, which should make the chase interesting.

edit: and the 17th over is only 1 run and 1 wicket - that pulls it back a bit.

 

[Xuhaib]

Windies batting is the weakest of the 4 teams

 

[Burgey]

Yeah but their bowling is probably the strongest

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Looks like Joseph and Holder are going to have to bowl well again.

 

[Burgey]

Christ what a terrible past few overs.

I really don't understand what Evin Lewis is trying to do in this tournament so far or what message the West Indies brainstrust have conveyed to him but whatever it is it ain't working... This player is one of the most destructive batters in the T20 circuit with a career SR of 150 , he's known for blasting opposition bowling attacks from the powerplay he's not a novice he's got 2 T20 international hundreds to his name , why on Earth would you want to be a nudger and nurdler with that sort of six hitting power , its ridiculous.

At one time I thought he's the natural heir to Chris Gayle however he has been ordinary for past 2-3 seasons

Ireland spinners 6 overs - 4/27
West Indies struggles against spin continues , but Simi Singh the off spinner only bowled 2 overs for his 1/11 , Ireland might rue not bowling him out in the game ..
Delaney's 4 overs yielded 3/16

 

[TheJediBrah]

Windies need to get Stirling ASAP or he could ruin the game quickly

 

[TheJediBrah]

Oooooof that's as flush as you can be hit

 

[TheJediBrah]

Alzarri got these guys hopping around bowling quick and he decides to bowl a ****ing slower ball
