"I probably think they got 20 too much. Still a good score for us to try and chase down," says Alzarri Joseph. "I assess the wicket as the game goes along. Different strategies in different times of the game. Not slower, a little more even, the pitch from the previous ODI. Always happy to be doing a job for my team."
He's right - Ireland have got more than what West Indies seemed to keep them down to, especially with Joseph bowling through the middle of the innings, mixing up his lengths and picking up 4 for 32. Paul Stirling did his best to anchor the innings with a half-century and then the tail wagged again to just about make a game of this. We'll be back with the chase in just a little bit
