The man-in-form, Lockie Ferguson, has been operating at full capacity in the shortest format. He finished with 4/14 in the first match, which helped the team win the game.

IRE vs NZ Risky Captaincy Choices:
Although the seasoned professional has been in fantastic form, Paul Stirling has lost his wickets in this series in a careless manner and would be a dangerous decision.
