THE LOWDOWN
IRELAND
- Ireland’s most recent defeat against Australia means that they cannot accrue enough points to make it to the semi-finals with England and Sri Lanka both ahead of Ireland and still to play each other.
- Earlier this year, Ireland hosted opponents New Zealand in a T20i series, which saw the Black Caps comfortably emerge victorious, however a change of conditions in Australia could yet see Ireland pull off an upset.
NEW ZEALAND
- New Zealand remain top of their ‘Super 12’s group on net-run-rate despite losing to England last time out and a win here over Ireland would seal their qualification into the semi-finals, most likely as group winners.
- Glenn Phillips backed up his incredible century against Sri Lanka by scoring 62 against England, albeit in a losing effort and his form is a huge boost for the Black Caps’ top-to-middle order.
THE PREDICTION
Despite losing their last game, New Zealand remain one of the best performing nations across the tournament so far and it is expected that they will bounce back strongly here against an Ireland team, who pose the capability of causing a big upset. Ultimately though, it’s hard to see the Irish bowling attack being able to contain such a powerful New Zealand batting line-up, so back the Black Caps to force victory.
