This Group 1 in the Super 12s stage of the 2022 T20 World Cup was always going to be a tough one and so far, it’s New Zealand who has managed to top the points table with 2 wins in their 4 games, including one washed out match against Afghanistan and one game lost to England. Now, it’s their chance to wrap things up and win today in their last Super 12s game, which will confirm their semi final berth.
Their opponent today is Ireland and this team is known to be a giant killer in international cricket. In fact, that’s the team that beat England in this stage after getting 2 wins in 3 games in the qualifiers as well. Ireland is more or less out of the tournament but a win here could give NZ some real issues in qualification.

New Zealand
Both these teams have played here before but from those who have, none of the top wicket takers are outright pacers. Adam Zampa tops the list with two 3-fers in two games and thus, we think Ish Sodhi may have a chance of bettering his tournament and adding to his 4 wickets in 3 games, so pick him in your NZ vs IRE fantasy team while if you want another spinner in your side, Mitchell Santner is a good option because he bats as well.
With the bat, it was on this same ground in Adelaide that Glenn Phillips smashed every bowler across the park to score his 2nd T20I century a few days ago and he followed that up with a fifty too, so he’s in red hot form right now. Kane Williamson has been having poor scores in T20 cricket of late but he may be able to accumulate and get you a few runs, even if those may be scored at a snail’s pace today.
Ireland
From the bowling lot, we’re sure not many will be picking Mark Adair in their NZ vs IRE fantasy teams because of his super expensive outing against Australia where he gave away 26 runs in one over as well. However, he’s a great servant to Irish cricket and we think he’s good to make a comeback, with all those variations in his arsenal. Barry McCarthy will be up in confidence after 3 wickets and fantastic fielding in that game, so he makes our NZ vs IRE Dream11 team too.

They may want to make a few changes since they’re already out and they may want to try out some of their bench strength. With the bat, Lorcan Tucker is now going to be in everyone’s MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) NZ vs IRE fantasy team after that fifty against Australia. We’ve expected a lot from Harry Hector but he’s disappointed right through the tournament, so we’ll pick Curtis Campher instead.
