Ireland and West Indies are ready to square off against each other in the first T20I match of the three-match series, scheduled to take place on Thursday at Bready Cricket Ground. West Indies enter this series on the back of a 3-0 T20I series defeat suffered against England earlier in June. Going into the new assignment, West Indies will be eager to rebound from their recent defeats. 

Ireland, while not as prominent on the international stage as some of their counterparts, have shown toughness and potential in recent matches. And they will look to capitalise on home advantage and recent form. Andrew Balbirnie, Paul Stirling (c), Ross Adair, Lorcan Tucker (wk), and Harry Tector would look to challenge West Indies with their exceptional abilities.
