Paul Stirling heroics help Ireland beat West Indies in high-scoring thriller

St George's (Grenada), Jan 16: Paul Stirling's explosive 95 helped Ireland register a thrilling four-run win over West Indies in the first T20I of the three-match series played at the National Cricket Stadium, Grenada.

Captain Andrew Balbirnie won an important toss on Wednesday evening and elected to make first use of a wearing wicket. The opening pair of Stirling (95 from 47 balls) and Kevin O'Brien (48 from 32 balls) smashed the ball to all parts of the ground -- and smashed some records along the way -- as they set about demolishing a shell-shocked West Indian attack.
