Ireland have done it against South Africa and West Indies in the recent past. And they have done well so far to test New Zealand in the first two ODIs.

The three-match ODI series started with a thrilling one-wicket win for New Zealand on Sunday. Chasing a target of 301 runs, the Kiwis needed 20 in the last over. Michael Bracewell hit Craig Young for 4,4,6,4,6 to seal the win. The 31-year-old then followed his 127 not out off 82 with another unbeaten knock, 42 off 40 in another tense chase.
For the hosts, Harry Tector and George Dockrell have played eye-catching knocks, but the Andrew Balbirnie-led side will need contributions from other batters to challenge a far superior side. The same goes for their bowlers. Can they do it today?
