The third ODI between New Zealand and Ireland is going on now. Despite fielding first in the first two matches, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat in the match. New Zealand's collection is 126/2 in 19 overs. They are scoring over than 6 runs in per over. If this continues, they will be able to give more than 300 targets. Though this is a batting-friendly pitch. So New Zealand will not be able to win if the target is below 300. In previous matches we have seen the extraordinary batting of the Irish players.
Newzealand already scored 316 runs and lost only 5 wickets. They still have 4 overs more and it is possible they might cross the 350 marks. I am surprised we are discussing this match as we all know the result will be not so different. This is just a practice match for them and a real test for the Irish team. I doubt they will be able to chase such a huge score.
The brilliant knock of Martin Guptill comes to an end, scored 115 runs! New Zealand's batting performance was almost perfect, as they scored 360 on the scoreboard. It is not something I like to take lightly when it comes to Irish batters. It is possible for some of them to chase this down since they are T20I specialists. Their only problem is a lack of consistency and a lack of a proper plan. I'm looking forward to an exciting contest! So far, only two wickets have been lost.
