NZ Vs IRE 1st T20 Dream 11 Prediction:
After the nail-biting ODI series between New Zealand and Ireland, both teams are all set to face each other in the 1st T20 at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on Monday.
Ireland, playing at their home gave a tough fight to World No. 1 team New Zealand, however they lost the series by 3-0 but by very small margins.
During the first ODI, they almost won the game when New Zealand required 20 runs of last over with only 1 wicket in hand, but due to Bracewell’s brilliance who smashed 24 off 5 balls to help visitors win by a single wicket.
Whereas in the third and final ODI they almost chased down the target of 361, but unfortunately they lost the game by just 1 run.

Power Play scores:
Ireland are playing a solid game of cricket from the past couple of months with 2 solid games against India and with New Zealand. New Zealand openers are known for playing long and destructive knocks and as per their reputation we predict that New Zealand power play total will be between 40 to 45 runs. While the hosts can post somewhere in the range of 35-40 runs.
Death Over scores:
New Zealand does have some strong hitters that may influence the outcome of the game with their destructive batting, therefore we can anticipate them to score 40-45 runs in the last few overs.
On the other side, Ireland persisted in playing a respectable game and exhibited patience at the wicket to counter the Kiwi bowlers. In the final 4 overs, the hosts might still score 35 to 40 runs.
Overall scores:
New Zealand could post 180-190 in 20 overs. While Ireland might put 160-170 runs on board if they bat first.
Who will win Today’s match between NZ Vs IRE?
New Zealand, who is playing this series in the absence of their regular captain Kane Williamson and experienced fast bowlers Tim Southee and Trent Boult, missed their star players in the first ODI as the visitors narrowly missed an upset against Ireland. However, team New Zealand is still very strong on paper and hold the ability to beat any team in the world.
While Ireland too all charged up especially after their first ODI brilliance where they almost defeated the mighty New Zealand. Considering both teams’ recent performances one can assume that New Zealand might win the second ODI match on Tuesday.
