Kingston, Jan 17: Ireland achieved a historic series win over the West Indies after winning their deciding one-day international by two wickets at Sabina Park.
The 2-1 come-from-behind series victory from the third ODI gave Ireland a first ODI series win away from home against a full member.
This also was only its second series win against a full member, after Zimbabwe at home in 2019.
After bowling out the West Indies for 212 inside 45 overs, Ireland reached a winning 214/8 in the 45th.
It was a remarkable end to a COVID-19-disrupted two-nation tour which began with Ireland’s own historic loss to a hosting United States in a Twenty20.
Andy McBrine and Harry Tector smashed respective half-centuries to help Ireland defeat West Indies on Sunday.
West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard said the series defeat at the hands of Ireland is a “tough pill to swallow” for the home side. (Agenices)
