Despite a record-equalling 16-ball half-century from Matthew Forde and a century from Keacy Carty, the West Indies could not beat Ireland in the second ODI in Dublin to level the three-match series.
Rain had the last say preventing the Irish from chasing down 353, with Sunday's final ODI deciding the fate of the teams.
00:00Well, load up the place with the bang-bang boom as despite a record-equaling 16-ball half-century from Matthew Ford and a century from Casey Carty,
00:10well, the West Indies could not beat Ireland in the second ODI in Dublin to level the three-match series.
00:16Well, rain had the last say preventing the Irish from chasing down 353, but Sunday's final ODI deciding the fate of the teams.
00:24It was a must-win game for the West Indies, who were put into bat by Ireland in the second ODI in Dublin.
00:30Outside the off stump, King opening the batting with Evan Lewis.
00:34Brandon King fell for eight, followed by Evan Lewis for 20.
00:38Catch taken by Dockrell, a sharp catch.
00:41Casey Carty and captain Shearhope had to rebuild the innings for the men in Maroon.
00:44Well, a maiden over was in the making, and that final stroke from Casey Carty.
00:49Their stand was worth 81 runs for the third wicket.
00:51That looked solid. Two chasing. The ball is going to win the race.
00:58Hope made 49, but Carty was eyeing something bigger.
01:01Absolutely pumped. Stand and deliver from Casey Carty.
01:05He was playing an array of shots to all parts of the ground.
01:08Taking on McCarthy in this over, and he's really taking them apart.
01:12These two runs through the offside took Carty to a century, his second and one-day internationals.
01:18He went on to get 102.
01:19And he comes back for a second. A majestic knock.
01:24Matthew Ford also displayed his heroics with a bat.
01:28Slapped away, and that's going to be all the way.
01:32His belligerent 58 came off 19 balls, embellished with two fours and eight sixes.
01:37It's only 54 meters up there, and it soars over the rope.
01:41Ford fell to Liam McCarthy, giving the bowler three wickets.
01:44He's equaled a world record here today.
01:48Justin Graves made a useful 44-not-out of 36 deliveries.
01:52Down the ground and hit for four.
01:55The West Indies closed on a healthy 352-for-eight from 50 overs.
01:59But rain prevented further play, with the game ending in a no result.
02:03Well, the Irish might hold the luck of the dice over Wendy's batsman Casey Carty.
02:11He hopes the men in Maroon can restore parity in their final game on Sunday.
02:14Hopefully we can repeat a similar batting performance.
02:20Better our bowling performance, and at least draw the series.
02:23Because I think the last time we played them in the Caribbean, they came out victorious.
02:27And we just want to come and at least play one good game of cricket.
02:33Today was a half a game.
02:35Positive for us.
02:36So if we can close out the series good going into the England series, that would be positive for us.
02:39So if we can close out the series, that would be positive for us.
