We are ready for play! The Irish players are out there in the middle. Martin Guptill and Finn Allen are the openers for New Zealand. Craig Young to start with the ball for Ireland. Here we go...

Andy Balbrine, the skipper of Ireland says that in the Super League there is always something to play and they have been hot and cold in the league and they need to be better today. Tells that the middle order has done well and they need to bat well at the top. Mentions that they need to do the same thing and just need to be a a bit better in execution. He informs that they have two changes with Graham Hume making his debut.

Tom Latham, the Kiwi skipper says that they will bat first and the surface looks really good. Mentions that it is about improving with every match for them. Adds that in ODI cricket it is really important to keep picking wickets and hopefully the spinners can do what they did in the last match. About Finn Allen, he says that Allen showed fantastic ability last time around and hopes that he can carry on the momentum. Informs that Lockie Ferguson comes back in for Jacob Duffy.

PITCH REPORT - Kyle McCallan is down for the pitch report. He says that it is a fresh day and there's some breeze as well, with a fresh pitch too. Adds that the pitch is the best for batting so far, it is hard and there's fresh grass on it too. Mentions that the captains will be looking to still bowl first and reckons the par score will be around 300.

Ireland (Playing XI) - Andy Balbirnie (C), Paul Stirling, Andy McBrine, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Lorcan Tucker (WK), Gareth Delany (In place of Simi Singh), Graham Hume (On debut) (In place of Mark Adair), Craig Young, Josh Little.

New Zealand (Playing XI) - Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, Will Young, Tom Latham (C) (WK), Henry Nicholls, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson (In place of Jacob Duffy), Blair Tickner.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Tom Latham. New Zealand have elected to BAT first.

New Zealand, on the other hand, have won both games but they have been far from clinical. Michael Bracewell has been the stand-out performer for the Blackcaps and he has really been the difference between the two sides. However, the top-order has not lived up to its billing so far and the skipper Tom Latham would hope for a more dominant performance from his boys. Can New Zealand whitewash Ireland here? Or will Ireland boys cross the line this time around? Let’s find out. Toss and team news in a bit.
