With Ireland Captain Delany unable to bat, that's the end of the game. L Delany retired hurt 0 (0b 0x4 0x6) L Delany absent hurt 0 (0b 0x4 0x6)
The Ireland Innings didn't get off to a good start with Lewis going in the first over and to be fair they never recovered. With only Kim Garth gettting into double figures, it was always going to be tough to put the West Indies bowlers under any pressure.
I'm sure that the West Indies will be delighted how the first game as gone, with the wickets being shared out between the bowlers. Fletcher finished off with four wickets as the Irish batters couldn't cope with her legspin
With this 64 run win the West Indies go 1-0 up in the series with two games to go. With the final two games on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, Ireland will be hoping that Delany isn't too badly hurt. Hopefully you'll be able to join us for the next two games as well. Until then, thanks for following the commentary today. Goodnight from Dublin
