New Zealand already has the series in their pocket but to call this match a dead rubber will not do justice to what an intense series it has been. Firstly, we got to witness a close high scoring game which almost went down to the last ball of the 100th over. Ireland while batting first set a mammoth target of 301. Then, when New Zealand came into bat, they tumbled in the starting but were later rescued by Bracewell’s brilliant knock of 127 which also earned him the player of the match. But he had more left in him than we all knew. In this article we will tell everything about IRE vs NZ Dream11 Prediction.
This time in the second ODI, we were in for a thrilling low scoring encounter. Firstly, Bracewell helped his team in restricting Ireland to just 216 through his brilliant spell of 2/26 in 10 overs. Then, New Zealand while chasing 217 again found themselves in trouble when top order batters Martin Guptill and Will young got out on golden duck. Finn Allen and captain Latham looked set and scored half centuries but got out in succession. It seemed like Ireland was gaining the upper hand but it was Bracewell again who ruined their party. His 42(40) not out confirmed that New Zealand won the second ODI and the series. He was again the player of the match for his all-round performance with both bat and bowl.
Talking about the 3rd ODI, the match is to take place on the 15th of July, 2022 at the same ground where the first 2 matches were also played i.e. The Village. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:15 pm IST. Ireland would want to at least end the series on a winning note, whereas New Zealand will be looking to continue their winning streak and whitewash the Irish.

IRE vs NZ Dream11 Top Picks:
Michael Bracewell
All-Rounder Michael Bracewell has to be a top pick for obvious reasons. His heroics made him the player of the match in both the matches. He would want to continue his purple patch and help New Zealand earn a whitewash.
Harry Tector
Ireland’s number 4 i.e. Harry Tector has been the lone centurion for his side so far in the series. He would want to contribute more for his team in the 3rd ODI and help them cross the line this time which they failed to do in the first match regardless of his century.

IRE vs NZ Dream11 Match Prediction: Who will win?
New Zealand has been in great form recently and is truly playing like how a Number 1 ranked team should play. They seem a huge force for Ireland which they are finding difficult to handle. Ireland would have to be on their toes and bring their A-game forward if they want to challenge this New Zealand juggernaut. However, New Zealand are favourites to win this match and take the series home by 3-0.
