WATCH HIGHLIGHTS! 2-time Champions West Indies out of the T20 World Cup after losing to Ireland

Yet another upset in the T20 World Cup 2022 as 2-time T20 champions West Indies have failed to qualify for the marquee tournament.

The Windies faced Group B side Ireland in their 3rd match of the qualifiers. All four teams in the group, which also includes Scotland and Zimbabwe, headed into their respective games in a do-or-die situation with one win and one loss each.

After winning the toss and deciding to bat first, West Indies failed to make a mark in the first innings after losing their first two wickets in the powerplay itself.

After seeing themselves at 99 runs for the loss of 4 wickets after 14 overs, it was Brandon King's 62 off 48 balls that helped the side put up a below-par total of 146 on the scoreboard.

Ireland came out in the second innings with victory in their minds and started off with opener Paul Stirling (66) turning his form around and playing an essential knock in the chase.

After losing opener Balbirnie in the 8th over, Lorcan Tucker (45) joined Stirling in producing a sensational 9-wicket victory for Ireland which put them into the T20 World Cup Super 12 for the 2nd time.
