Ireland vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Ireland and New Zealand will cross swords in the third and final match of their ODI series on Friday. The Village in Dublin will play host to this contest.
After a thrilling win in the series opener, New Zealand registered another tight win in the second ODI to seal the series 2-0. They won with three wickets to spare to take an unassailable lead. Michael Bracewell was adjudged the "Player of the Match" for the second consecutive game after rescuing the Kiwis with the bat once again.
New Zealand lost two wickets in the very first two balls of their 217-run chase. Finn Allen and skipper Tom Latham then struck half-centuries to bring them back into the game.
However, New Zealand fumbled multiple times in the chase. Bracewell scored an unbeaten 40-ball 42 to eventually see them over the line in 38.1 overs to seal the series.
Ireland fought the ball as they had the visitors in early trouble. Mark Adair and Simi Singh picked up two wickets each, but the hosts simply did not have enough runs on the board to play with.
Their batting let them down as they were bowled out for a mere 216. They were reduced to 126 for the loss of six wickets at one point. Thanks to a magnificent 61-ball 74 from George Dockrell, they pushed their total over the 200-run mark.
New Zealand will aim for a 3-0 whitewash while Ireland will be eager to salvage some pride and win the final ODI.
