The first T20I of the ongoing New Zealand’s tour of Ireland will be played in Belfast tonight. A riveting three-match ODI series might not have encompassed of an Irish victory but two heartbreaks were enough to provide them with an adequate confidence of beating New Zealand for the first time in any format.
It is noteworthy that the only Ireland vs New Zealand T20I till date had come during the ICC World Twenty20 2009 in Nottingham. New Zealand, who had won that match by 83 runs, will be playing a T20I against Ireland after 13 years.
New Zealand batter Martin Guptill is the only player from that match who will also be playing this match. In what will be the Black Caps’ maiden T20I in Ireland, it will also kick-start the first-ever bilateral T20I series between these two teams.
All set at Stormont with @cricketireland 🏆
