WI vs IRL 2nd ODI match prediction 13 Jan 2022

WI vs IRE Predictions & Betting Tips

The 2nd ODI between West Indies and Ireland in the three match long ODI series will be played at Sabina Park, Kingston in Jamaica on January 11. I have collated three of the best betting tips from the WI vs IRE match prediction.

The tour is all set to continue after the Irish fixture with the States was abandoned. The first ODI favoured West Indies in the 1st ODI who won the game by the margin of 24 runs. The Irish side put up a brave fight in the head-to-head clash but succumbed to a defeat after the WI bowlers bundled them out at 245 runs. In addition to this, the two have clashed thrice in 2020 where WI were able to register victory in all the games. As the teams meet for the second time this year, take a look at the top three betting tips from the West Indies vs Ireland head-to-head match.

WI vs IRE Team Bets:

Let us have a look at the best WI vs IRE team bets for the second ODI.

Ireland to score under 24.5 runs before 1st dismissal

In the previous fixture between Ireland and West Indies, WI were the first team to bat and created a mammoth total of 269 runs in 50 overs only to dismiss all the Irish batters at 245 runs. The WI bowlers were exceptional in picking wickets where every bowler scalped wickets as exploits from the game. Ireland faced their first dismissal of William Porterfield in the 2nd over itself with 1 run on the scoreboard where Porterfield returned without scoring any runs in the game. This was similar to when the sides met in 2020 and Ireland were unable to create an opening partnership over 24 runs in the match while giving away their first wicket at 22 runs. Ireland has never sustained the opening partnership for long against West Indies as the batters fall prey to the aggressive pacers of the team. Porterfield holds an excellent average above 30 in ODIs but his figure drops down considerably playing against WI where he averages at 10.92. The batter has played his highest innings of 29 runs against the side and ducked out on three occasions in the 13 innings he played against West Indies. Therefore, it is safe to say that the Ireland openers are yet to acclimatise with the WI bowling and are expected to lose their first wickets before scoring 25 runs in the next ODI. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for the same and you should grab this hot betting tip as fast as possible.

WI vs IRE Player Bet:

The analysis leads to the best possible player bets in the upcoming encounter between the sides. Take a look at the below mentioned WI vs IRE player betting tip.

Andy Balbirnie to score over 23.5 runs

Andy Balbirnie, the Irish captain has led his team to few exceptional performances in the past. The last ODI against WI resulted in their defeat in spite of putting up a fair fight. Balbirinie played a fantastic innings of 71 runs in order to boost the Irish batting in the previous outing. The batter has piled 2533 runs in his career of 85 ODIs with an average of 32.89 per game. In those inningsm he managed to put across seven centuries and twelve half-centuries. The fact that his First-class average also hovers around a similar figure of 30s, it further deepens the confidence on this betting tip. Ireland is quite dependent on its runs in all formats,on the captain. The top order Irish batter has produced some great knocks playing against the West Indies. He averages at 43.75 consisting of 350 runs in 8 matches against West Indies which makes up for one his best numbers in his career. Balbirnie had a bright year of 2021 where he smashed 340 runs in just 9 games with an average of 42.50. We all witnessed his excellent innings of 71 runs in the previous game and therefore, he is expected to play another smashing innings in the next game as well. Parimatch offers the odds of 1.87 for Andrew Balbirnie to score over 23.5 runs in the WI vs IRE head-to-head match and you should take it.

Shamarh Brooks to score over 25.5 runs

Shamarh Brooks is a new addition to the national team in the 50 over format after he proved his worth in the domestic games in all formats. In full flow, Shamarh Brooks is all elegance. He drives mercilessly through the off side and often finishes his flicks standing on one leg. But it took four innings in Tests before these skills were visible. He has played 8 Test matches for the team where he averaged around 30. His real dominance with the bat was observed in his 90 career First-class games where he mustered 4395 runs at an average of 31.17. His average exceeds our betting tip, gaining more confidence in theis betting tip. In those 90 innings, he was successful in scoring 7 centuries and 26 half centuries. The real weight in this betting tip comes from his extraordinary innings in the previous and his debut ODI against IRE. He smashed 93 runs off 89 balls with a strike rate of 104.49. He was declared as the Man of the Match as a token of appreciation for his innings in the match. With that being said, the batter will be high in confidence and can be expected to play another similar innings, over 25 runs, in the upcoming WI vs IRE head-to-head encounter. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for the same and you should pick it to reap heavy returns out of this betting tip.
