IRE vs NZ 3rd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Ireland and New Zealand conclude the ODI series on Friday at The Village, Malahide. It has been a fascinating series so far with two very close games, both won by New Zealand. The opening game was won by 1 wicket with 1 ball remaining. Tuesday’s second match saw New Zealand win by 3 wickets. Read on as we preview this ODI. The third game of the series gets underway at 10:45 local time.
Ultimately it was Ireland’s lack of runs at the top of their order which cost them the win on Tuesday. However, they no longer want to be plucky losers and we expect them to go all out for the victory in this ODI.
The visitors will have been pleased to get over the winning line with 11.5 overs to spare in the second game of the series. However, they will be looking for more runs from their batters to produce a more complete performance.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Although they have lost the series, it has been a very positive showing from Ireland over the two games so far. New Zealand are one of the most consistent white ball sides in the world and the home side have pushed them all the way in both games. We expect to see an unchanged XI for Ireland for the third successive game.
IRE Key Players
- Harry Tector - After impressing in the IT20 series against India and hitting a century in the first ODI, Tector struggled to 4 runs from 25 balls on Tuesday. He will be determined to post a big score in this game.
- George Dockrell - The all-rounder has not been called upon to bowl left-arm spin but his batting was crucial for Ireland on Tuesday. He top scored with 74 runs from 61 balls.
- Mark Adair - The bowling all-rounder took 2-43 in the opening game of the series and dismissed Martin Guptill and Will Young from the first two balls of New Zealand’s innings in the second ODI.
IRE Team Form
Results have not gone their way in this series so far but the performance levels of Ireland have been impressive.
Ireland Predicted Playing 11
Paul Stirling, Andrew Balbirnie (c), Andy McBrine, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Simi Singh, Mark Adair, Craig Young, Josh Little
New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
There were two changes for the Black Caps ahead of the second ODI with Mitchell Santner coming back into the side after recovering from illness. He was joined in the XI by Jacob Duffy, who made his debut, with Ish Sodhi and Lockie Ferguson dropping out.
NZ Key Players
- Martin Guptill - After hitting a half-century in the opening game of the series, the 35 year old got a golden duck on Tuesday. He will come out and play aggressively in this ODI.
- Michael Bracewell - The all-rounder has been the outstanding player for his side in this series. He has scored 169 runs without being dismissed and took 2-26 in the second ODI.
- Lockie Ferguson - With plenty more cricket to come over the next few months, the right arm pace bowler was rested for Tuesday’s fixture. He will be fresh and energised for this game.
NZ Team Form
The Black Caps have won eight games in a row in this format and, although Tuesday’s win was far from convincing, it was more comfortable than Sunday’s victory.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, Tom Latham (c) (wk), Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry

🏆 Ireland vs New Zealand Prediction
These two teams have served up excellent entertainment over the first two games of the series and it is a shame that this is only a three-match affair. Ireland have shown that they can compete with the best sides in the world but New Zealand have that added bit of quality. We are predicting another win for New Zealand to end the series.
