We are in the 1st ODI of the three-match series, where host Ireland will take on the West Indies as both teams look for an early lead.

West Indies defeated Bangladesh in the last series, and the team will look to draw confidence out of the series and take an early lead.
The West Indies come into this game with good performances in the last 12 months. They have won the last six out of seven games, and the team will be confident in this game. In contrast, Ireland has struggled with form and consistency. They are up against a strong batting unit and need a strong performance from their players.

Paul Stirling and his men have a tough task at hand. They struggled against Zimbabwe in the last series and failed to capitalize on their opportunities. Their recent form in this format has been worrying, and the team will look to make amends. Stirling expects a positive show from his players in this contest.
Paul Stirling will look to lead from the front and deliver a strong start with Andrew Balbirnie, as both players have much experience. The middle order is strong, and the team will expect partnerships between Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, and Curtis Campher. George Dockrell and Barry McCarthy will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
The team will expect a good start in this game from Joshua Little and Craig Young as they take on a strong batting lineup. Barry McCarthy and Curtis Campher will look to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs. The side will also like tight bowling from Matthew Humphreys and Andy McBrine in the ing roles.
Harry Tector has hit 13 sixes in 6 ODI matches played at Dublin and is averaging more than two sixes per match. He is in good form and is a clean striker of the ball and averages close to 80 against West Indies.
Harry Tector boasts an impressive ODI record in Dublin, having scored 358 runs across 6 matches at an average of 59.66. Fresh off a magnificent century in the recent domestic 50-over cup, he enters this series in excellent touch. Expect him to carry this form into the first ODI and comfortably score over 25 runs.

Shai Hope and his team want to regain their form and confidence in this format. Missing the last ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy has been a low for the side. They did well in their last ODI series against Bangladesh. Shai Hope would like to take confidence from that series and take an early lead in the three-match series.
The team expects an explosive start in the game from Evin Lewis and Brandon King, as both these players are good stroke makers. Shai Hope will look to anchor this innings in the middle order and add runs with Sherfane Rutherford and Romario Shepherd. The team will also expect a big hit in the lower middle order from Amir Jangoo and Roston Chase.
Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seals will look to strike early and put the team in a strong position in this game. The team expects a strong show in the middle overs from Matthew Forde and Gudakesh Motie as Ireland has a capable batting lineup. Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, and Romario Shepherd will look to do well in the ing role.
Left arm spinners haven't had much success at The Village Ground in Dublin and it favours the fast bowlers. Motie picked up 15 wickets in 12 matches last year, averaging less than one wicket per match. Given the conditions at Dublin, we predict Motie to have a tough time and his total wickets tally to be under 1.5.
Shai Hope has an outstanding record in Dublin, amassing 470 runs in just 5 matches at a phenomenal average of 94, including two centuries. While his average against Ireland in 9 matches is a more modest 39, his stellar form in Dublin suggests he will be eager to start the series strong. We back him to perform well and comfortably score over 26 runs.

The skies over Dublin would be mostly clear. We expect to see slightly challenging batting conditions at the start of the game. Batsmen shall need to play to the merit of the ball on this surface. The average first innings score in the last few years has been 270, and the team batting first will like to have 320 on the board.
The Village, Dublin, has shorter boundaries, but the outfield is heavy. Batting conditions are good here as the ball comes to the bat nicely, and we have seen big scores being made here in the past. The wicket aids the fast bowlers with the new ball. There isn’t much on this track for the spinners, and they have to rely on their variations to do well at this venue.
We back the home team Ireland to win the coin toss in the first ODI against West Indies.
The wicket is known to favor bowlers at the start of the game, and it gets better as the game progresses. The team chasing the score in the last seven games has won four times. The side winning the toss in this game shall not hesitate to opt to bowl first.
Ireland has struggled in ODI cricket leading up to this series. The batting lineup has failed on multiple occasions, and the team needs a strong show from the top order to create chances for itself. The West Indies have a power-packed batting lineup and variety in their bowling attack. We expect a close game, but the West Indies will start as favorites.
