IRE vs WI, 3rd ODI: West Indies thrashes Ireland by 197 runs to draw series 1-1
West Indies powered to a 197-run win over Ireland in the third ODI in Dublin on Sunday to draw the series 1-1.
The visitor won via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern scoring method, used in weather-affected matches, after compiling 385 for seven from the 50 overs.
HIGHLIGHTS
Keacy Carty smashed 170 from 142 balls — the joint-sixth highest score in ODIs for the West Indies — with support from captain Shai Hope (75) and Justin Greaves (50).
Ireland was set a revised target of 363 from 46 overs after a rain delay, but was never in the hunt after Andy Balbirnie — a centurion in the first ODI — had his off-stump uprooted by Jayden Seales in the second over.
Cade Carmichael top scored with 48, falling two runs shy of a maiden ODI fifty upon being bowled by Greaves.
Ireland was dismissed for 165 in 29.5 overs, with Seales taking three for 26.
The Windies lost the first game by 124 runs and there was a no result in the second game.
It was a timely confidence boost for the tourist before their three-match ODI series against England gets underway at Edgbaston on Thursday.
