That is from this series. But the cricketing season has more to offer. We will get more on your platter. Time to bounce now! Tada!!!!

Evin Lewis, Man of the Match: All the hardwork in the nets has been paying off. The wicket today was an excellent wicket. The ball didn't spin as much as it did in the last game. I have been working hard in the nets. I am trying to hit the ball down the ground. I had never scored a 100 in the Caribbean. Batted well to help us win a series at home. The coach and the captain were telling us that we were getting complaceent at times. To be honest, you have to be hungry for runs. My last 100 was in 2017 and am determined to get more runs this year.

16:28 Local Time, 20:28 GMT, 01:58 IST: Windies have won again. They had to, once the target was in the range of just over 200. A few rain breaks brought the target down to less than 200 and Windies tracked it down without any hiccups. Lewis managed to get to a 100 today and that was backbone of the chase. He took on the attack from the very first ball and then controlled the pace of the chase in the middle overs. Earlier, Ireland put up an unconvincing show to manage only 203. The skipper of Ireland batted well but didn't get any support from the other end. This is the first bilateral ODI series win at home for West Indies since 2014.
