Carty lifts Windies to series-levelling win in Ireland

Ireland have suffered a heavy defeat to the West Indies in Dublin as their one-day international series finished in a 1-1 draw.

The visitors romped to a 197-run victory on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern after compiling 7-385 from their 50 overs.

Keacy Carty smashed 170 from 142 ****** – the joint-sixth highest score in ODIs for the West Indies – with solid support from skipper Shai Hope (75) and Justin Greaves (50).

Every Ireland bowler came in for heavy punishment, with Barry McCarthy conceding 100 runs from his 10 overs to claim an unwanted record.

His figures of 3-100 represented the most runs conceded in an innings in ODIs for Ireland, eclipsing Peter Connell’s record of 95.

Ireland were set a revised target of 363 from 46 overs after a rain delay, but were never in the hunt after first ODI centurion Andy Balbirnie had his off-stump uprooted by Jayden Seales in the second over.

Cade Carmichael top scored with 48, falling two runs shy of a maiden ODI fifty upon being bowled by Greaves.

Ireland were dismissed for 165 in 29.5 overs with Seales taking 3-26.

Having lost the first game by 124 runs and with a no result in the second, this was a timely confidence boost for the West Indies before their three-match ODI series against England gets underway at Edgbaston on Thursday.
