Ireland fast bowler Liam McCarthy made his T20I debut on Sunday (June 15) against the West Indies in Bready, Northern Ireland, but it turned out to be a nightmare for him as he conceded 81 runs in his quota of four overs.
He was introduced to the attack in the fifth over of West Indies' innings, and on the first two balls, West Indies T20I captain Shai Hope hammered him for two back-to-back sixes. Evin Lewis then joined the party by hitting four on the fourth and fifth balls to help the West Indies team score a total of 21 runs from his first over.
In his second over, Lewis smacked 6, 4, 4, and 4 runs on the first four balls, and on the last ball, Hope also scored a boundary to help the West Indies add 24 more runs to their total.
In McCarthy's third over of the match, Shimron Hetmyer scored four on the first, fifth, and sixth balls, and Keacy Carty also scored a boundary on the third ball of the over to collect a total of 18 runs. In his final over, Liam conceded one four and two sixes against Carty to finish his quota of four overs with 81 runs.
Only Musa Jobarteh of Gambia has conceded more runs in a T20I match than McCarthy.
During the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier Group B match played between Gambia and Zimbabwe in Nairobi (Ruaraka) on October 23, 2024, Musa conceded 93 runs in four overs.
For the West Indies, Lewis scored 91 runs from 44 balls with the help of 7 fours and 8 sixes, and Hope smashed 51 runs from just 27 balls with the help of 4 fours and as many sixes. The duo added 122 runs in 10.3 overs for the first wicket.
Later in the death overs, Carty remained unbeaten on 49 runs from 22 balls, and Romario Shepherd scored 19 runs from six balls to help West Indies post a total of 256/5 in 20 overs.

Patrick Mahomes enters revenge mode as Chiefs vow to unleash chaos on 31 NFL teams
Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes enters revenge mode (Credit: AP) The Kansas City Chiefs are wasting no time sending a message to the rest of the NFL. Just months removed from a narrow Super Bowl LIX loss, Patrick Mahomes and the offense are back at work and sharper than ever. With Mahomes operating at full throttle and wide receiver Rashee Rice fully recovered from injury, the defending AFC champions are on a mission – dominate 2025. Patrick Mahomes' precision practice puts NFL on alert During a recent OTA session, Patrick Mahomes went a perfect 9-for-9 in a team period. He connected seamlessly with Rashee Rice (3), Skyy Moore (2), Xavier Worthy, Elijah Mitchell, Tyquan Thornton, and Noah Gray. It was a crisp, controlled display that felt more midseason than spring camp. The tone is clear, Kansas City isn't easing in, they're coming full force. 'It kind of shows the standard that we have here. We've been doing it all throughout this spring. As guys are working hard, you can tell they're motivated to go out there and be even better this next year. So it starts here and I think guys understand that,' Mahomes said, clearly confident about the team's internal drive. Rice returns from injury stronger than ever While the team's WR depth is drawing buzz, Rashee Rice is the standout of offseason chatter. After going down in Week 4 last season with a hamstring and LCL injury, Rice is now moving without restrictions. His recovery came early enough to allow a full offseason of training, including sessions with Mahomes in Dallas. He's not just back – he's faster, sharper, and laser focused on domination. 'Obviously having the injury, it sucked. But happening so early in the season, he was back like right when the offseason started,' Mahomes added. 'He was up here working hard, extremely hard. He was back home working extremely hard. And so I was throwing with him in Dallas a little bit and then getting him back out here. And there are no limitations. He's out there playing… He's explosive.' Chiefs' receiver corps loaded and dangerous With rookie Xavier Worthy now in the mix, the Chiefs' receiving unit is deeper and more dynamic than ever. But Rice isn't worried about sharing the spotlight, he's embracing the depth and the chance to shine. He knows the expectations are sky-high in Kansas City, and he's ready to match that energy. The countdown to kickoff may still be ticking, but the confidence is already explosive. 'We got a lot of guys. We deep in depth into the wide receiver group. We're going to be explosive this year. We're just excited to put on a show, to be honest. We know it's gonna be a show. The only thing in the way right now is time, so we're just waiting patiently.' Also read: Patrick Mahomes' Messi moment sends fans buzzing as Chiefs tease World Cup role If spring workouts are already this electric, the rest of the league should be watching closely. The Chiefs aren't nursing a Super Bowl hangover—they're fueling a revenge tour. And with Mahomes locked in and Rice unleashed, Kansas City might just be more dangerous than ever.
