New Zealand on Friday defeated Ireland by a narrow margin in the third and final ODI to whitewash the series 3-0. The match in Dublin was an action-packed affair as it held its suspense till the final ball. A total of 719 runs were scored in the game but only one run made the difference between the two sides by the end of the complete 100 overs. From Curtis Campher's stunning run-out to Blair Tickner's thrilling last over finish, the match had a lot of entertainment for the fans.
Amidst all, Tom Latham's glass window-breaking six also grabbed attention of the spectators. On the first ball of the 19th over, the southpaw danced down the track and hit an Andy McBrine delivery over long-on for a six. The ball bounced just after the boundary ropes and hit the glass window that followed the advertisement board.
