What an exciting match that was today. Niall O'Brien battled hard scored a fantastic maiden ODI century. Yet again though it was Spin bowling that Ireland couldn't cope with. Santner ending up with his best ever figures and a five for. With the win today, New Zealand get four points and move to the top of the tri-series table.
The presentations have just finished and Mitchell Santner has been named man of the match for his five for. So that just leaves me to thank you for following my commentary today, hopefully you will join me on Wednesday when New Zealand will be taking on Bangladesh at Clontarf. Until then this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from a sunny Malahide. Goodnight!
