West Indies and Ireland will face each other in the 11th match of the ongoing eighth edition of ICC T20 World Cup in Hobart tomorrow. The all-important contest will witness these two teams facing each other in the shortest format after as many as 22 months.

Last of a three-match bilateral series, the last West Indies vs Ireland T20I was played in St Kitts resulting in a drawn series on the back of a 9-wicket West Indian victory at the Warner Park.

The dependency of Super 12 qualification is a primary reason why this match holds immense importance for both the teams. With each Group B team winning one and losing one match on the eve of the final day of this round, whoever wins the two matches will qualify for the next round in a clear-cut scenario.
