Ireland vs New Zealand 3rd T20 International: IRE vs NZ Head-to-Head Records and Stats – Firstcricket News, Firstpost

New Zealand have already sealed the deal 2-0 with their massive 88-run win against Ireland in the previous game of the three-match T20 International series. They will now be eyeing a clean sweep as they will take on the Irish men for the final T20I on Friday at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast at 8:30 PM IST.

While the Kiwis will aim to whitewash the hosts by winning the upcoming match, Ireland are also ready to put up a strong competition. In their last meeting, New Zealand made a decent 179 runs on the board riding on the unbeaten 78-run knock of Dane Cleaver. In response, the Irish batting line-up fell like a pack of cards in front of the attacks of Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy and Michael Bracewell.

With the T20 World Cup approaching, Ireland will try to polish their newly-built squad. They played well in the previous matches but couldn’t find the way to the victory. In the last match of the series, though they have nothing to lose or gain, the Andy Balbirnie-led unit will eye to deliver their best to clinch at least one victory to their name.
