Ireland vs New Zealand 1st ODI 2022: Dublin’s The Village Weather Update – Firstcricket News, Firstpost

Ireland and New Zealand will head to The Village in Dublin to cross swords in the first ODI of the three-match series on Sunday at 3:15 PM IST. While Ireland have been quite impressive in their previous encounters, New Zealand will look to uplift their performance after their thumping defeat against England.

The flat surface of The Village is known for high-scoring competition. When India and Ireland met here for the two-match T20 International series earlier, the venue saw both batting units enjoying easy strokes. However, a 50-over battle needs a different kind of strategy. The team batting first will get an extra advantage and can post a huge total. Though there is no chance of rain, the overcast condition and the humid weather can play a big part. Shorter boundaries will undoubtedly be of aid to the batters.

Some of the experienced Kiwi players including full-time skipper Kane Williamson will be out from the fixture. Wicketkeeper-batter Tom Latham will captain the side. On the other hand, the Irish boys will be led by Andy Balbirnie who is in a good form and played some good knocks against India. The Black Caps will start the campaign one step ahead of the hosts as their previous trip ended on a positive note. They outplayed Ireland in two meetings and bagged the tri-series.
