IRE vs NZ: Dream 11 Top Picks
Harry Tector: The youngster has certainly found his feet in his international cricket with some dominating peformances with the bat. In the recently concluded India series, he showed his wide range of batting skills and the temperament to succeed at the highest level and will be keen to make an impact on this game.
Martin Guptill: A limited overs Kiwi legend, Guptill will certainly fancy himself against the Irishmen. He has not had a consistent run of form off late but only need one innings to get blasting and opponents are well aware of the dangers he possesses once set on the crease.
