WI vs IRE Dream11 Predictions - 1st ODI 2022 | 8 Jan

There’s been a lot of anticipation over this tour since a while now as it’s more or less two teams on an equal footing. While West Indies has been one of the teams of the yesteryear, they’ve been pretty poor in recent times and a horrible show in the 2021 T20 World Cup from them raised a lot of eyebrows. This series was supposed to see Chris Gayle getting a farewell in front of his home crowd but because of Covid-19, we’re playing behind closed doors.

They’re playing against Ireland and a total of 3 ODIs and 1 T20 international will be played between 8-16 Jan 2022 on this 2022 Ireland tour of West Indies. All four games on this tour will be played at the Sabina Park in Jamaica to restrict travel and allow full chances of this being a tour without Covid-19 disruptions.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, West Indies leads 5-0.
Jayden Seales – 15 wickets in 6 games in LPL 2021.
West Indies – lost only 2 of their last 11 ODIs at this venue.

West Indies

Chris Gayle is not a part of this series and Kieron Pollard is back after missing their last tour of Pakistan, though we will leave him out of our WI vs IRE fantasy team as he’s got no fifties and no wickets with the ball in his last 10 matches. On the other hand, Jayden Seales is someone who has been going from strength to strength, with just one wicketless game in his last 10 outings. Another confident bowler who can be picked for the 1st ODI is Akeal Hosein.

Nicholas Pooran had a poor World Cup and has been terribly out of form so we’d rather pick Roston Chase in our WI vs IRE Dream11 team for the 1st ODI as he’s been in great touch. His brilliant CPL 2021 season got him a comeback in the WI white ball squad. In the recent Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021, Odean Smith and Romario Shepherd were two all-rounders who made a name for themselves for their big hitting and ability to pick wickets too.

Ireland

Top performer with the bat Paul Stirling has quarantined in Florida after testing positive for Covid-19, while Shane Getkate tested positive along with him. Ireland is known for being giant killers and Andy Balbirnie played a big role in beating South Africa when they played recently. We’re picking George Dockrell as well as he’s developed well from being a frontline spinner to a good middle-order batsman now!

Curtis Campher was one of the better players for them in the T20 World Cup a couple of months ago with a double hat-trick in one game as well. He can bat too, so should make your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) WI vs IRE 1st ODI fantasy team. Talking about all-rounders, there’s Simi Singh who has also been a very integral part of this side. However, he’s only got 4 scalps in his last 10 games and a best score of 29 runs, so he’s not in the best of form right now.
