West Indies defeated Ireland by 24 runs in the first match of a three-game ODI series on Saturday at Sabina Park.
Barbados batsman Shamarh Brooks marked his ODI debut at the age of 33 with a fine 93, while West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard hit a fluid 69.
In reply, the Irish were well-set at 165-1 with captain Andy Balbirnie making 71 and Harry Tector hitting 53.
However, once they fell in the space of eight balls, the required run-rate crept up and the West Indies claimed a key opening victory in a series which forms part of the qualifying route to the 2023 World Cup.
