New Zealand vs Ireland – T20 World Cup Match 37 | |
---|---|
Date | 4th November 2022 |
Time | 9:30 AM IST, 4:00 AM GMT, 2:30 PM LOCAL |
Venue | Adelaide Oval, Adelaide |
It's a very important game for New Zealand as a win will significantly boost their chances of reaching the semis. New Zealand suffered a defeat against England in the last game and currently have five points to their name.
This is New Zealand's final league game and a win here will take them to 7 points. Australia and England can also reach a maximum of seven points, but New Zealand's net-run rate is very high thus if they win the coming game, there are high chances that they will secure a place in the semis.
Meanwhile, there is not much at stake for Ireland. They can simply enjoy their game and spoil the tournament for New Zealand.
The IND vs BAN match was played at Adelaide Oval and it looked a belter of a surface. The batters got full value of their shots with very short square boundaries. A similar wicket is expected for the coming game as well.
The weather will be bright and sunny, with temperatures ranging between 15-19 degrees. The conditions will be ideal for cricket.
Finn Allen, Devon Conway (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Fionn Hand, Joshua Little
Both teams suffered defeats in their last games but we don’t think they will risk tinkering with their team combination for the coming game.
New Zealand are yet to lose against Ireland in a t20I game.

Devon Conway has been brilliant for New Zealand and has played a couple of match-winning innings for his team. Conway has been the most consistent Kiwi batter in recent times and is likely to come good in the game against Ireland as well.
Glenn Phillips scored a brilliant century against Sri Lanka and then backed it up with a blazing half-century against England. He is New Zealand's highest run-scorer of the tournament with 178 runs in just 3 games. He will be a key player in the coming game for New Zealand
Paul Stirling is Ireland's best batter and even though he can be inconsistent at times, he is the red-hot favourite to score big against a class Kiwi bowling attack.
Trent Boult has been brilliant in the T20 World Cup so far. He has bowled with great fire and troubled almost every batter that has faced him. Boult has taken 6 wickets in three games for New Zealand.
Tim Southee is another player you must have in the team. If Boult fails to pick wickets, Tim Southee will. The bowling-friendly conditions make the two Kiwi pacers among the toughest bowlers to face.
