Ireland will face the West Indies in the third match of the three-match T20I series. The first two games were washed out due to rain.
This series would have been a preparation for the next T20 World Cup, but rain has not allowed any action. Both teams hope to get some game time after spending time on the fence, seeing the rain fall on previous match days.
