TBH, I had thought that the Irish guys will have an easy win here.
But Martin was too good here.
Another fact is that, just after posting this results, I restarted the match and simulated it again completely. New Zealand scored just 151 All out in 36.4 Overs.
Ireland chased that in about 41 Overs and won the game by 6 Wickets.
All we can say is that Cricket is a funny game, and it depends on how the team performs on that particular day.
Also Ireland can be happy that their opener Redmond had scored half centuries in both the matches.
