West Indies were far from unfortunate in defeat two days ago but for the
first half of this match it looked as if they could be accused of
carelessness. Ireland had squeezed West Indies until pips squeaked and
seemingly done the hard work in attempting to secure a first bilateral
series win against a Full Member. But the reigning World Twenty20
champions scrapped hard for their dignity and a narrow 11-run win.
Unlike in Colombo, there was no "Gangnam Style" in victory, just relief at West Indies' first in six matches. Time is running out for them to re-learn the moves ahead of their World T20 defence.
