It’s well and truly crunch time. The final round of matches in group 1 is set to get underway, with five of the six teams still a chance of qualifying.
The permutations and scenarios are fascinating. New Zealand, after their huge win over Sri Lanka last weekend, were almost certain of qualification. However, defeat to England means that the Black Caps must win this clash, as a loss to Ireland leaves them relying on Afghanistan to beat Australia later on.
The Black Caps are a professional unit. They aren’t the kind to let pressure get the better of them. However, if the Irish can make a strong start, led by the likes of Josh Little, Paul Stirling and Lorcan Tucker, it will be interesting to see how Kane Williamson’s side responds.
Ireland are still a mathematical chance of making the semi finals, but realistically it will take one of the great miracles to see them through. They will need to beat New Zealand by well over 100 runs to go ahead of them on net run rate, and even then England and Australia could still overtake them. But, there is still more than enough motivation to perform, as another victory against a top side will hold Irish cricket in great stead.
NZ vs IRE Possible Playing XI
New Zealand should stick with the same XI that lost to England. But, there may be a temptation to play Michael Bracewell who had a memorable ODI series against Ireland earlier this year.
New Zealand: 1. Finn Allen, 2. Devon Conway (wk), 3. Kane Williamson (c), 4. Glenn Phillips, 5. Daryl Mitchell, 6. James Neesham, 7. Mitchell Santner, 8. Tim Southee, 9. Ish Sodhi, 10. Trent Boult, 11. Lockie Ferguson
Ireland are also likely to stick with the same team that put in a promising show against Australia.
Ireland: 1. Paul Stirling, 2. Andy Balbirnie (c), 3. Lorcan Tucker (wk), 4. Harry Tector, 5. George Dockrell, 6. Curtis Campher, 7. Gareth Delany, 8. Mark Adair, 9. Fionn Hand, 10. Barry McCarthy, 11. Josh Little
NZ vs IRE Head-to-Head Stats & Other Key Numbers
New Zealand:
- Glenn Phillips is New Zealand’s leading run-scorer this year (627), with scores of 62 and 104 in his past two matches.
- Phillips dominated Ireland earlier in the year. In three T20Is, he scored 148 runs at an average of 148.00 and strike rate of 132.14. This included two fifties.
- Devon Conway will be looking to bounce back after scores of 1 and 3 following his 92* vs Australia. In T20Is this year, Conway has scored 435 runs at an average of 54.37 and strike rate of 127.94.
- Can Kane Williamson find some rhythm? The skipper is striking at just 102 in 23 T20s this year, which includes a 40-ball 40 vs England.
- Lockie Ferguson took five wickets in two matches against Ireland at an average of 4.80. He dismissed Gareth Delany, Paul Stirling (twice) and Curtis Campher in that series.
- Trent Boult and Mitch Santner have both taken six wickets in this tournament with exactly the same stats (avg. 12.83, econ. 6.41). Boult and Tim Southee should find some movement as the bowlers did in Adelaide two days ago.
- Boult will be key against Paul Stirling, who has struggled against left-arm seam in all T20s this year: 158 runs, 12 dismissals.
Ireland:
- Lorcan Tucker has been a shining light. He has scored the fourth-most runs of any player in this World Cup (191) at an average of 47.75 and strike rate of 128.18. This includes 71* against Australia and a double-figure score in every game.
- Paul Stirling hit 74 runs in the NZ series in July at a strike rate of 123.33. If he gets through the powerplay, he can go on to make a significant score.

- Finn Allen scored just 50 runs in three T20Is against Ireland earlier in 2022. Josh Little dismissed him twice.
- Little has taken the most wickets for Ireland in 2022: 25 inns, 36 wickets, avg. 19.88, econ. 7.67.
- Ireland could look at using Mark Adair as a pinch hitter. He scored 89 runs in the New Zealand series in July at an average of 44.50 and strike rate of 156.14.
- Barry McCarthy bowled beautifully against Australia. He took 3/29, with one wicket at each stage of the innings.

Adelaide Oval Pitch Report and Weather
The Netherlands bowlers found movement on the Adelaide surface in their afternoon game against Zimbabwe. Bangladesh also enjoyed movement bowling first. So, the captain who wins the toss may be tempted to bowl first on a mild afternoon.
In seven BBL matches at Adelaide in the 2021/22 season, the average first innings score was 159. The team batting first won four of those games.
The forecast is for a top of 20 degrees and partly cloudy. No rain is expected.
