Powell powers Windies into Super Sixes
toss in the penultimate over.
He eventually fell to the fourth ball of the final over, holing out to midwicket off Murtagh, after helping the Windies plunder 84 runs from the last 10 overs.
Roach and Holder (249) then struck telling blows with the new ball to send Ireland tumbling to 32 for three in the 11th over.
Left-handed captain William Porterfield clipped a short ball from Holder to Lewis at square leg in the second over before Roach spectacularly removed Paul Stirling’s off-stump for 18 at 25 for two in the seventh over.
Roach grabbed his second wicket a few overs later when he lured Andrew Balbirnie (9) into a drive and had him caught behind.
The left-handed Joyce, however, anchored two successive half-century stands as Ireland rallied well to haul themselves back into contention.
He put on 64 for the fourth wicket with Niall O’Brien before adding 70 for the fifth with Kevin O’Brien.
Niall pulled a short one from Williams to Lewis at deep square leg to depart in the 25th over and after a long resistance, Joyce was dismissed in the 37th over, turning Roach off his pads
Shimron Hetmyer
to Carlos Brathwaite at short mid-wicket.
He struck seven fours in 87 deliveries at the crease.
Roach hit Kevin O’Brien in front with the last ball of the same over, leaving Ireland floundering on 167 for six.
Gary Wilson (18) and George Dockrell (14) provided the last ray of hope in a 31-run, seventh wicket stand but Dockrell’s demise, lbw to Holder in the 44th over, triggered a slide as the last four wickets fell for just seven runs.
