DUBLIN (AP) — West Indies powered to a 197-run win over Ireland in the third ODI in Dublin on Sunday to draw the series 1-1.
The visitors won via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern scoring method, used in weather-affected matches, after compiling 385-7 from their 50 overs.

Keacy Carty smashed 170 from 142 balls — the joint-sixth highest score in ODIs for the West Indies — with support from captain Shai Hope (75) and Justin Greaves (50).
Ireland was set a revised target of 363 from 46 overs after a rain delay, but was never in the hunt after Andy Balbirnie — a centurion in the first ODI — had his off-stump uprooted by Jayden Seales in the second over.
Cade Carmichael top scored with 48, falling two runs shy of a maiden ODI fifty upon being bowled by Greaves.
Ireland was dismissed for 165 in 29.5 overs, with Seales taking 3-26.
The Windies lost the first game by 124 runs and there was a no result in the second game.
It was a timely confidence boost for the tourists before their three-match ODI series against England gets underway at Edgbaston on Thursday.
