Ireland vs New Zealand- Previews and Betting Tips
Ireland will find every possible way to upset New Zealand, who are edging their way to clinch a semi-final berth. The Irish have had a remarkable run in this competition making it to the Super 12s. However, they failed to capitalize on gathered momentum and now have a chance to ruin it for the Kiwis. Before this, Ireland went up against the hosts, Australia.
The Irish chose to bowl first at the Gabba in hopes of a historic win. The bowlers couldn’t stand a chance in front of skipper Aaron Finch’s 44-ball 63 as Australia went to put up a ginormous score of 179/5. For Ireland, Barry McCarthy & Joshua Little did well, picking up 3/29 and 2/21, respectively. In reply, wicketkeeper batter Lorcan Tucker played tremendously well for his unbeaten knock of 71 off 48 balls. However, he couldn’t get his side over the line as the Aussies bagged a 42-run win.
Meanwhile, the Kiwis were up against England the following at the Gabba. Bowling first, the Kiwi bowlers were smashed all over the park by the bat of Jos Buttler. The skipper smashed a 47-ball 73 to get his side to 179/6. Lockie Ferguson was the only player with 2 wickets to his name but leaked one too many runs. It wasn’t going to be an easy chase but Glenn Philips had other plans. He smashed a brilliant 36-ball 62 before departing to Sam Curran in the penultimate stage of the match. Other batters failed to contribute as a 20-run win has kept the hope alive for England, who now sit second on the table.

Ireland
Ireland will be heavily reliant on its bowling unit which has done exceptionally well in this tournament. To begin with, Joshua Little has done a fantastic job picking up 14 wickets in his last 10 matches, at an economy of just 7.00. He will be accompanied by Mark Adair who has 10 wickets himself in his recent matches. The batting has been disheartening except for Lorcan Tucker. He has amassed 267 runs in the last 10 games and seems unstoppable. Ireland are a well-balanced side with several big names. Only a combined team effort can help them with a win here.
Squad: Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie(C), Lorcan Tucker(wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Fionn Hand, Joshua Little
New Zealand
The Kiwis are title contenders and are packing firepower that are helping them live up to those expectations. Centurion Glenn Phillips now has 425 runs in his past 10 matches at 53.13. Alongside him, southpaw Devon Conway has scored runs in heaps and never looked back. He has 392 runs himself in the past 10 games at an average of 56. On the other hand, the Kiwis don’t have to worry about bowling as Tim Southee has been in surreal form. He has 15 wickets in his last 10 encounters and looks unstoppable. In addition, the services of Trent Boult & Mitchell Santner will be the icing on the cake as they look to demolish the Irish.
