West Indies will take on hosts England tomorrow in their final warm-up game for the 2009 International Cricket Council World 20/20 Championship, which bowls off on Friday.
The Caribbean side easily defeated Ireland yesterday at The Oval in its first official warm up game.
Captain Chris Gayle blasted an unbeaten 88 from a mere 55 balls as the regional side easily overhauled their target to reach 134 for one with four overs left.
Earlier, Ireland managed 130 for seven from their allotted 20 overs after they won the toss and opted to bat.
West Indies start their World Cup campaign against Australia on Saturday at the Oval and face Sri Lanka on Wednesday, June 10 at Trent Bridge in the group stage.
