A number of Ireland players have fallen ill ahead of the World Twenty20 winner-takes-all clash with the West Indies.
The Irish are hopeful that all those affected by the stomach bug will be available for Monday's game, with the winner progressing to the Super Eights.
"It's happened to me before and you have to find an inner resolve - Phil (Simmons) will be stressing that," said batsman Niall O'Brien.

"There will be a lot of adrenalin and I hope it will overcome any illness."
Australia's wins over Ireland and the Windies have set up a decider for second place in Group B.
Ireland's poor start against the Aussies proved costly and skipper William Porterfield is determined to avoid a repeat in Colombo.
"The first six overs with bat and ball are going to the crucial," said the opener.
"If we can restrict their runs and then make a good start with the bat then we have a good chance.
"They have destructive batters like Chris Gayle but they can also make mistakes and we have to put the ball in the right place."
