Mark Adair has taken 31% of Ireland’s wickets in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2024, the best rate of any player for a Test playing country in that time (min. 10 overs bowled); he’s taken 25 wickets at a strike rate of 13.1 across all his 14 innings during this period, recording at least one wicket in each of those innings.
Shai Hope has lost all three of his men’s T20Is as captain of West Indies; amongst Test playing countries only Thisara Perera (L9 for Sri Lanka) and Mohammad Rizwan (L4 for Pakistan) have made more appearances as captain and not registered a win in the history of the format.
Paul Stirling (Ireland) scored 66* in his most recent T20I innings against West Indies (21 October 2022), his second 50+ score against them across his last four innings in the format (95 – 15 January 2020); although, this is set to be his first meeting against them in Ireland.
Rovman Powell (1,873) is 27 away from surpassing Chris Gayle (1,899) as the second all-time leading run scorer for West Indies in men’s T20Is (Nicholas Pooran – 2,275); he scored 79* in his most recent T20I innings (10 June 2025 v England) and will be aiming for 50+ scores in back-to-back innings in the format for the first time in his career.
Batters have played and missed on 20.7% of Ireland’s balls bowled during the powerplay in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2024, the second highest rate of any Test playing country in that time (New Zealand – 20.9%); although, they’ve taken just three wickets via this method.
West Indies have scored 71% of their runs from boundaries during the powerplay in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2024, the second-best rate of any Test playing country in that time (Australia – 77%); in fact, their 83 sixes during this period is 13 more than any other team.
Ireland lost their most recent men’s T20I at Bready Cricket Club against a fellow Test playing country (4 September 2021 v Zimbabwe); they had won three of their four such fixtures prior to that span (L1).
West Indies have won only one of their last 12 men’s T20Is (L11) – a five-wicket victory against England (16 November 2024); they have lost each of their six matches since then, a seventh consecutive defeat in this game would be their outright longest losing run in the history of the format (also L6 from March to August in 2019).
Ireland have won only one of their last six men’s T20Is (L5) – a 10-run victory against South Africa (29 September 2024); they’ve lost their only match since then (23 February 2025 v Zimbabwe) and will be looking to avoid starting a calendar year in the format with consecutive defeats for the first time since 2021.
Ireland defeated West Indies by nine wickets when they last met in a men’s T20I game (21 October 2022 at ICC Men’s T20 World Cup); they will be aiming for consecutive wins against them for the first time in the history of the format.
