West Indies have finished with a 70-run win that could be enough to see them through to the Super Eights. Ireland will be incredibly disappointed with their batting effort, all out for 68. And it’s fair to assume Darren Sammy will be the Man of the Match, he was in everything today – his 30 was the top score of the match, he took 3 for 8 and a world record four catches. All the West Indies bowlers played their part. George Dockrell showed something with the ball for Ireland, but there wasn’t much else for them to cheer today. They’ll have to beat England on Tuesday to have any chance of progressing.
