Ireland vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Ireland and New Zealand are set to lock horns in the second game of the three-match ODI series on Tuesday. The Village in Dublin will host the contest.
New Zealand, captained by Tom Latham, started the series on a decent note after winning their first match on Sunday by one wicket. However, they could easily have lost the match as they needed 20 runs to win off the final over.
Michael Bracewell's brilliant unbeaten 82-ball knock of 127 took the Black Caps over the finish line. The experienced Martin Guptill also chipped in with a 61-ball 51.
Curtis Campher picked up three wickets, but his efforts went in vain.
Earlier, Harry Tector scored a sparkling 113 with 14 fours and three sixes, helping the home team post a daunting target of 301 for the Kiwis to track down. After Ireland lost two early wickets of skipper Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling, Tector took charge.
Campher and Andy McBrine also chipped in with handy scores of 43 and 39 respectively. Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner and Ish Sodhi picked up two wickets apiece for New Zealand.
It remains to be seen if Ireland can draw level in the series.
