Live Streaming Of Ireland Vs New Zealand, 3rd T20I: Watch IRE Vs NZ Cricket Match Live

Ireland tested the visiting New Zealand with some fine performances in the three-match ODIs, but they still ended up losing the series 0-3. Those close defeats allowed fans to dream big and thoughts of a first-ever win against New Zealand continue to play truant.

But what followed in the T20Is was, well, the restoration of the status quo in the cricketing order, at least in these parts of the British Isles. A 31-run humbling in the first, then a thrashing in the second, by 88 runs. Their innings on Wednesday lasted 83 balls for 91 runs.

So, can they redeem themselves with improved performance? If they are to do so, then the likes of Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, Joshua Little, etc. will need to do the heavy lifting for the so-called minnows.

For the Kiwis, another win and happy journey to Edinburg for three more T20Is, this time against Scotland starting July 27. With the regulars out of bounds for various reasons, the fringe players have turned up to do the job.

And the best of the lot is a certain Michael Bracewell. He can bat, bowl and keep the wickets. In this tour, the ?31-year-old has achieved some stunning feats, like hitting a barrage of boundaries in a last over to seal a win, taking a hat-trick in his uncomplete first over in the T20Is. He will love to sign off in style.
