West Indies vs Ireland 2022: 1st ODI – Fantasy Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing XI Detail

Ireland v West Indies

West Indies will host Ireland for a three-match one-day international series, starting on December 8 (Saturday) at the Sabina Park in Jamaica. Both teams have had a significant break due to the COVID-19 outbreak and will look to make their return with a win.

West Indies were on a white-ball tour to Pakistan before the holidays when the virus outbreak in their camp caught as many as nine members – five of them players – forcing the ODI leg of the tour to be pushed back by six months. After a disastrous campaign in the shorter formats in recent times, West Indies will look to begin the ODI leg on a good note with the ODI World Cup 2023 inching closer.

On the other hand, Ireland were on the New Year tour of the USA where a COVID-19 spike in their camp led to the cancellation of the two 50-over games. The minnows will look to have a good start to the year beating West Indies and take 1-0 lead in the series.
