McBrine to Lewis, OUT, the pressure has worked, Lewis sweeps against the turn and lobs a catch to short fine leg!

E Lewis c Rankin b McBrine 7

25 - 3

8.5
Rankin to King, OUT, loud appeal after a sound for caught behind, finger goes up, he's not reviewing.
Looks like Hope wanted him to review, but if King knew about the edge why did he consult Hope?

BA King c †Tucker b Rankin DUCK

7.5
McCarthy to Hetmyer, short ball, top edge and taken by the keeper! Tucker runs a fair distance to his right

SO Hetmyer c †Tucker b McCarthy 6

Decent win

Yep .....Thriller for bottom of table Squads !

Ireland is ranked #10 and W.I. # 9 : on ICC ODIs chart ?

So WIndies pulled it out of the bag with a penultimate ball 6.

Going in a batsman light the long tail led by Hayden Walsh Jr's composed 47* chased it down.

Sheldon finished it off but not before some last over high drama.

WI take an unassailable 2-0 series lead
