West Indies have chased 300-plus successfully only once in ODIs (308 v Pakistan in 2017). So, if they win today, this will be their highest successful chase.
2.22pm Ireland finish with 327 for 5 - their fifth-highest ODI total and the highest against West Indies. They lost McCollum early in their innings but a 146-run stand between Stirling and Balbirnie set the platform. Stirling fell for 77 but Balbirnie went on to score his fourth ODI hundred and was eventually out for 135 while searching for some quick runs. But Kevin O'Brien's 40-ball 63 ensured Ireland finished strongly. Holder tried eight bowlers, but Gabriel was the best, taking 2 for 47. We will be back with the chase soon. Stay tuned.
