New Zealand are favorites to win
The final IT20 of the Ireland v New Zealand series takes place on Friday afternoon at the Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast. The visitors have already secured the series after winning the opening game by 31 runs on Monday and the second IT20 by 88 runs on Wednesday. Read on as we preview the third IT20. The match gets underway at 16:00 local time.
After having moments in Monday’s game when they were ahead in the game, Ireland were behind from the start on Wednesday. They appear to be lacking confidence from their earlier games against New Zealand.
New Zealand do not have some of their biggest name players on this tour but have shown that they have strength in depth. Different players have performed at different times and the team is developing.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on BT Sports in the UK and on Spark Sports in New Zealand.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Fancode in India.
Although Ireland are 2-0 down, they have won the toss in both games and chosen to field each time. We predict that Andrew Balbirnie and Mitchell Santner will both choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this IT20.
We saw more turn for the spin bowlers on Wednesday but it is still a pitch, with the overhead conditions, which will deliver for pace bowlers also. There are short boundaries and a par score will be over 170.
Cloudy and humid with the temperatures in the high teens from start to finish in Belfast.

With the series now lost, there will be calls for Ireland to give debuts to squad players Fionn Hand and Stephen Doheny. However, do not be surprised if Ireland keep faith with their established names with a view of not rocking the boat ahead of the T20 World Cup in under three months.
Ireland have lost five IT20 games back to back and were completely out played by the Black Caps on Wednesday.
Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie (c), Gareth Delany, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Lorcan Tucker (wk), George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Craig Young, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy
The visitors named an unchanged XI for the second IT20 of the series but we do expect to see at least one change now the series has been secured. We predict that no risks will be taken with Lockie Ferguson in this game and expect to see Blair Tickner selected in his place.
The Black Caps have made good use of this series against weaker opposition and have seen their form return again in this format.
Finn Allen, Martin Guptill, Dane Cleaver (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner (c), Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Jacob Duffy
Ireland continue to search for their first victory over New Zealand in any format. Although they were well beaten on Wednesday, this New Zealand side is understrength and this game will represent Ireland’s best chance to beat them.

New Zealand's odds have got shorter as Ireland’s have got longer throughout this tour. The visitors are again heavy favourites for this match.
Only Dane Cleaver, in his second international appearance, scored a half-century on Wednesday. Five players scored sixes in the second IT20 and we expect to see more players clearing the boundary in this match.
Paul Stirling, Andy Balbirnie and Harry Tector are our batting picks for Ireland. Stirling’s strike-rate of 140 was the highest of all the Irish batting line-up in the last game.
Martin Guptill, Finn Allen and Dane Cleaver are our recommendations with the bat for New Zealand. Allen impressed with 35 runs from 20 balls at the top of the order in the second IT20.
We are backing Josh Little, Mark Adair and Craig Young with the ball for Ireland. Young took the big wickets of Martin Guptill and Glenn Phillips in Wednesday’s match.
Our tips with the ball for New Zealand are Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy and Blair Tickner. Duffy dismissed two of Ireland’s top three in the second game of the series.
New Zealand finally got a comfortable victory over Ireland on Wednesday after struggling to beat them, but always getting over the line in the ODIs and the first IT20. The hosts look like they have stopped believing they can beat the Black Caps and we are predicting another win for New Zealand to complete the series.
