Weather plays spoilsport in West Indies-Ireland T20 clash

Sunday, 19 January 2020 at 10:55

The second Twenty20 International (T20I) between the West Indies and Ireland has been abandoned due to rain.

Captain Kieron Pollard’s career-best figures of 4-25 helped the hosts restrict Ireland to 147-9 in a clash that was reduced to 19 overs a side.

Chasing a revised target of 152 at St Kitts, the West Indies reached 16-1 after 2.2 overs before the match was called off.

Ireland leads the series 1-0 after their four-run win in the opener in Grenada.

The third and final game will be played in St Kitts tomorrow.
