But just as Ireland was gearing up for the chase, Mother Nature had other plans. The rain swooped in right after the innings break and refused to leave, washing out what could’ve been a thrilling second half. No result means Ireland keeps their 1-0 series lead going into the decider, but you’ve got to feel for the West Indies. They brought the entertainment, but the weather stole the spotlight!

IRE vs WI 2025 2nd ODI: A high-intensity clash just one day apart!

Ireland’s Key Players to Watch

• Paul Stirling (c) – The experienced captain is crucial at the top. Malahide’s pitch favors batters early on, and Stirling’s aggressive style can set the tone. His off-spin might also be handy if the pitch slows. Needs to lead from the front after a likely tight first ODI.
• Harry Tector – Ireland’s best ODI batter recently – calm under pressure and scores quickly. Malahide’s short boundaries suit his pull shots and sweeps. If Ireland loses early wickets, he’s the anchor.
• Josh Little – With swing early on and death-overs yorkers, Little is Ireland’s strike bowler. His battle vs West Indies’ power hitters (like Pooran) could decide the game. Needs early breakthroughs.
• Gareth Delany – Malahide’s pitch often slows, making his leg-spin vital. Can also smash late runs (useful if it’s a chase). A wildcard pick over Dockrell if Ireland wants more batting depth.

West Indies’s Key Players to Watch

• Shai Hope (c & wk) – Hope loves ODIs – consistent and plays spin well. Malahide’s true bounce helps his elegant drives. As captain, he’ll aim to stabilize if WI chase or set a big total.
• Nicholas Pooran – A game-changer! Pooran’s 360-degree hitting is perfect for Malahide’s small boundaries. If the pitch is flat, he could take the game away in 10 overs. Ireland’s spinners fear him.
• Alzarri Joseph – His pace and bounce can rattle Ireland’s batters. Malahide’s pitch sometimes offers seam movement early, and Joseph’s yorkers are lethal at death. Key to breaking partnerships.
• Akeal Hosein – With Malahide’s pitch slowing, Hosein’s accuracy and subtle turn could strangle Ireland’s middle order. Also handy with the bat – a true all-round package.
