Over 0.1 FH Edwards to WTS PorterfieldBOWLED HIM, oh dear another first ball duck for the Ireland Captain, he got out in the very first ball of the match against Australia, and now he faces the same embarrassment against the Windies. It was a yorker that swung back late to take the toe end of the bat and sneaks through the gate to hit timber.Toss and Teams: West Indies have won the toss and asked minnows Ireland to bat first in the Group B Match at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The conditions are cloudy at Colombo and we will be lucky if we can have a full game tonight.It is an important match for the West Indies as they will have to beat Ireland to qualify into the Super Eights. Same is the case with Ireland though they are very much the weaker of the two sides. The Windies have made two changes with Darren Bravo and Andre Russell replacing the pair of Dwayne Smith and the injured Dwayne Bravo. Ireland have made one change with tall fast bowler Boyd Rankin ruled out with a health problem. Replacing him is going to be the unknown Max Sorensen.  Ireland: William Porterfield (Captain), Paul Stirling, Ed Joyce, Niall O'Brien (Wicket Keeper), Gary Wilson, Kevin O'Brien, Alex Cusack, Trent Johnston, Max Sorensen, George Dockrell, Nigel JonesWest Indies: Chris Gayle, Johnson Charles, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Darren Sammy (Captain), Denesh Ramdin (Wicket Keeper), Ravi Rampaul, Sunil Narine, Fidel Edwards
