West Indies Preview
West Indies are riding high on confidence after a 2-1 ODI series victory over Ireland. They currently sit 10th on the ICC ODI rankings and are showing signs of resurgence in white-ball cricket.
The spotlight will be on Shai Hope, the skipper and a reliable top-order batter who has been in terrific form.
