Captain Kieron Pollard produced the best bowling spell by a West Indian in Twenty20 International cricket with 4-25 as Ireland were limited to 147-9 in the second match of a three-game series on Saturday. In a match reduced to 19 overs a side because of rain, Pollard ripped the heart out of the Irish middle order by removing top scorer Gareth Delany, whose 44 included five sixes, skipper Andy Balbirnie (36) as well Gary Wilson (five) and George Dockrell (two). Fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell also starred with two wickets, including dangerous opener Paul Stirling who was caught in the deep for just 17. Stirling had smashed a 47-ball 95 in the first game in Grenada on Wednesday as Ireland edged a thriller by four runs. Ireland lost three wickets on the last three balls of their innings Saturday, two of them off run-outs as they desperately scrambled to get past 150. The West Indies will be confident of chasing down a rain-revised 152-run target to level the series ahead of Sunday's final match at the same venue. However, in their last two games at St Kitts against England in 2019, they were bowled out for just 45 and 71. dj
