IRE vs NZ 1st T20 Dream11 Team Prediction for Today Match

Ireland vs New Zealand Match Preview

New Zealand won the preceding ODI series 3-0, but Ireland can be mighty proud of themselves. They could have easily won the first and final ODI but New Zealand held their nerves better and won the contests. They chased 20 in the first ODI and won the match by 1 wicket, while Ireland lost the final ODI by 1, run chasing a mammoth 361.

Both teams boast of some quality T20 players and given what we saw in the ODIs, the T20Is should also be evenly fought.

Any wicket in Ireland will offer some help to the pacers early on and we are expecting a similar surface in Belfast. As the game will progress, the wicket will get better to bat.

Weather Report

The weather will be good for cricket with temperatures ranging between 24 to 17 degrees. While there will be some clouds around, rain is unlikely to cause any hindrance.

Ireland vs New Zealand Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Paul Stirling

He is a dangerous T20 batter and can decimate the best bowling attacks. In the final ODI, he scored a century and almost helped Ireland come close to the target of 361. He has to be in the team.

Martin Guptill

Guptill is another T20 veteran. He too scored a century in the final ODI and decimated the Irish bowling attack. He is also a handy player to have.

Harry Tector

Harry Tector seems to be in the form of his life. In the preceding ODI series, he scored two hundreds in tough conditions. It will be a big mistake to leave him out.

James Neesham

Neesham often blows hot and cold but on his day, he is a match winner who can win matches with both the bat and ball. He is another good pick for our team.

Mitchell Santner

The Kiwi skipper is a very fine T20 bowler, who is not easy to get away. Also, Ireland batters struggle against spinners thus Santner is a very good pick.
