For players, supporters, officials and administrators alike, this has been a very frustrating series between Ireland and West Indies!
Due to the weather in County Antrim, we are yet to see one delivery from either team and it was a grey and miserable scene in Bready which accompanied the players to the ground on Saturday.
According to the weather forecast, there will be similar conditions in Bready on Sunday with the only question mark being whether or not the anticipated rain will stop for long enough to allow at the very least a shortened game.
For Ireland, this provides them with a one-off fixture where they can inflict a series defeat on West Indies whereas the tourists can still return home after this match with a series victory after a very disappointing trip to Ireland the UK over the last few weeks.

Ireland won the opening ODI between the sides last month before the second game was abandoned and the third saw West Indies level the series. After that experience of losing the crucial final game, captain Paul Stirling will be hoping his side have the mental ability to focus ahead of this clash and the desire to secure a rare series win over West Indies.
If Ireland are to get the victory in Bready on Sunday, then there is every chance that it could be a reduced overs game so the experience within the squad of playing T10 cricket is likely to be critical!
That means opener and captain Paul Stirling will have an important role to play, as will keeper-batter Lorcan Tucker at number three and Harry Tector in the middle order.
George Dockrell could be pushed up the batting order while experienced pair, Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy will be the most important players with the ball in hand.

After losing all six of their ODIs and T20Is in England and Wales, not to mention winning just one of the three ODIs in Ireland prior to that series, it has been a tour to forget for West Indies.
They were also rocked by the international retirement of former skipper Nicholas Pooran just a week ago and a series loss in Ireland would complete a torrid month or so for the Men in Maroon!
That said, defeat is not guaranteed and they still have plenty of quality in this side. The top four of Evin Lewis, Johnson Charles, captain Shai Hope and Keacy Carty should be able to get on top of a weak Irish bowling attack.
And with the ball, Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein have enough experience and quality to be able to trouble Ireland's batters across their order.

Unfortunately there is going to be a chance of rain throughout Sunday's final T20I in Bready. It will be humid and cloudy throughout with the temperature in the high teens.
Usually this ground delivers high-scoring contests but after the recent rain the outfield will be slow and the pitch is likely to assist the bowlers. Therefore, we predict a par score of no higher than 165 in the first innings on Sunday.
This is going to be a lively pitch in Bready, due to the amount of rain that has been falling, and so we expect both skippers to want to bowl first ahead of this match.
