New Zealand have already won the three-match series 2-0. But the match will not be a dead rubber with 10 World Cup Super series points up for grab.Ireland came close in both the matches and threatened New Zealand with a defeat, but the Kiwis were able to bounce back on both occasions, courtesy of Michael Bracewell. It has been Bracewell's tournament so far.
While the Blackcaps will eye a clinical show and aim for a white wash, Ireland will try to have a win under their belt after coming so close on both occasions. And if they win, it will not be an upset, given the brand of cricket they have played.
