That's all we have from this game. This series is done and dusted in favour of New Zealand but there is still one game to go. Do join us on Friday, 15th July 2022, for the third ODI in Dublin. The match will begin at 3.15 pm IST (9.45 am GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Until then, it's goodbye and cheers!
Tom Latham, the skipper of New Zealand, says that he is happy with the performance and feels that winning the toss was important. Praises his bowlers for providing such a fantastic start and getting a couple of early wickets to set the tone. Also adds that the spinners were brilliant. He admits that it was a shaky start from their batters but they gradually got the grip of the game and managed to build some partnerships which ultimately helped them to get over the finish line. Tells that the way Finn Allen played was a big positive and Michael Bracewell once again showed his composure to finish things off. Hopes that he continues his good form.
The Irish skipper, Andy Balbirnie says that the pitch was tricky with the ball nipping around and then turning as well. Adds that they did well afterwards but it wasn't enough. Mentions they bowled well but will look to improve as well. Adds that George Dockrell batted beautifully and can hit the ball really well and Andy McBrine was also solid at the top. Tells that they could be better in the field and there were some positives for them but they have to improve.
Michael Bracewell is picked for the Player of the Match award. 10-1-26-2 with the ball and an unbeaten 42 runs with the bat - It was an incredible all-round show by him. He says that the bowlers did an excellent job at the start and bowling three maidens set the tone for the game. Praises Jacob Duffy for his debut. Shares that the pitch was offering spin and they used the conditions well. He is happy with the way they restricted Ireland to a low score. He sounds satisfied to take New Zealand over the line.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the match, Tom Latham won a crucial toss and decided to bowl under overcast conditions. The Irish batters found it tough to deal with the seaming deliveries and soon were found struggling. It was George Dockrell's knock and the late cameo from Mark Adair that handed them runs on the board to fight with, but 216 was never going to be enough against a team like New Zealand. In hindsight, the 12 balls that Ireland wasted could have made the difference.
It was a shocking start for New Zealand as they lost two wickets off the first two balls of the chase. Mark Adair was exceptional in his first few overs and pegged the Kiwis back fairly early. The going was tough, but Finn Allen and Tom Latham applied themselves to soak all the pressure. The former cut loose after that to steal the momentum in New Zealand's favour. This pair put together a century stand to corner the Irish team. Latham dropped into the role of the anchor and the likes of Henry Nicholls and Glenn Phillips also added vital runs.
Slight hiccup for the Black Caps, but eventually, they ended up securing an unassailable lead in the series, along with the crucial Super League points. Michael Bracewell once again played a mature knock and made sure that New Zealand cross the line.

Josh Little To Michael Bracewell
FIVE WIDES! A wild delivery from Little, a gift really. Little tries to bowl a yorker at the toes but the ball slips out of his hands and end up being a high full toss, way down the leg side. The ball eludes the batter and the diving keeper to race away into the fine leg fence. New Zealand are a hit away now from victory!

Josh Little To Michael Bracewell
APPEAL! Not given. Josh Little goes fuller and angles it in from around off. Michael Bracewell shuffles across looks to punch it back past the bowler but misses and the ball flicks the pads on its way to the keeper. Huge appeal from the bowler but it is turned down! Not sure whether they are claiming a catch or going up for lbw but it is being checked. UltraEdge is checked first and there is a flat line as the ball passes the bat and the Ball Tracking shows that the impact is well outside off.

OUT! LBW! Fifty and out for Tom Latham and Ireland are right back in it! Simi Singh delivers the arm ball, this one pitches on middle and just keeps on coming in with the angle. Latham is pushed onto the back foot as he looks to work it away. The ball skids on and pings Latham on the back pad. The finger is raised immediately after the appeal and Singh has the breakthrough. Surprisingly, there's no review from the skipper and he walks back in disappointment. The replay shows that it was a good decision not to review as the ball was hitting the leg stump.

Simi Singh To Henry Nicholls OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! A direct hit from the deep and Ireland have a wicket against the run of play. You just cannot keep Curtis Campher out of the game. He keeps adding value to this team. Flighted and full, around off, Henry Nicholls goes down on one knee and sweeps it through square leg. They complete a single and try for the second run. Campher attacks the ball in the deep and hits the bull's eye at the striker's end as Nicholls dives in. They appeal and the umpire goes upstairs. The Irish players are celebrating already. The replays show that Nicholls is well short of the crease. 85 runs needed in 154 balls.
Is that run out? An absolute bullet of a throw from the deep and Curtis Campher has hit the stumps. This seems to be close and the decision is sent upstairs. The replay shows that Henry Nicholls is short of his crease and the decision on the big screen is OUT!

Drinks break. It's been a great recovery from New Zealand after losing two wickets in the blink of an eye. Although Finn Allen got dismissed on the last ball, he did an amazing job to pull New Zealand out of troubled waters with his attacking batting. Tom Latham is now set at the crease and his job will be to anchor this chase till the end. Ireland have not been able to build on a fantastic start and are on the back foot. They need wickets in a cluster to make a strong back. 116 needed more off 198 balls as Henry Nicholls walks in next.

Mark Adair To Will Young OUT!
OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Mark Adair is on fire, he has two in two. This time it's not a yorker but very full around off. Will Young tries to defend without any footwork but misses as the ball nips back in to beat the inside edge. The stumps are shattered. The crowd is going wild. Adair on a hat-trick...
Will Young is in at number 3.

Mark Adair To Martin Guptill OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Martin Guptill bags a golden duck. What a start from Mark Adair! He nails his yorker to perfection. Speeds in from over the wicket, eyes the blockhole straight away and attempts to catch the batter unaware. Martin Guptill's feet go nowhere, his bat comes down late and the ball goes behind to floor the stumps. Mark Adair jumps in delight!
