Ireland will take on West Indies in the second ODI on Friday, May 23. The hosts stunned the visitors by thrashing them by 124 runs. Ireland beating big teams is now not considered an upset anymore. However, what took cricket fans by surprise was the total dominance by the young Irish side in outclassing the Windies in all departments of the game.
First up, the batters put on a clinical display, led by Andrew Balbirnie's terrific 124 runs, later the bowlers found some swing and seam to dismantle the Windies batting lineup. The visitors need to quickly recover from that abject surrendering in the first ODI, and try to put in a good performance in the second ODI to level the three-match ODI series 1-1.
