Match: Ireland vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI | New Zealand tour of Ireland

IRE vs NZ Preview
- Ireland has only had one victory in their last 10 games played here, which will lower their confidence.
- Since they have won nine of the last ten ODI matches, New Zealand should feel confident.
- Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie, Ireland’s openers, have combined for 16 runs in two games.
The last ODI between Ireland and New Zealand will be played on Friday at The Village in Malahide. The first two games of this intriguing series were won by New Zealand in two extremely close contests. With 1 ball left, the opening game was won by 1 wicket. In the second game on Tuesday, New Zealand triumphed by 3 wickets. At 10:45 local time, the series’ third game begins.
In the end, Ireland’s inability to score runs at the top of their order lost them the victory on Tuesday. They don’t want to be heroic losers any longer, thus we anticipate them to give it their all in this ODI.
The fact that the visitors crossed the finish line in the second game of the series with 11.5 overs remaining will have made them happy. To provide a more complete performance, they will need their batters to score more runs.

New Zealand are the favourites to win this match.
It is unfortunate that this series will only go three games after the fantastic entertainment provided by these two teams in the first two games. The finest teams in the world can compete with Ireland, but New Zealand has that extra bit of talent. To end the series, we anticipate another victory for New Zealand.
