The 37th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 will see Ireland (IRE) take on New Zealand (NZ) at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Friday, November 4. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the NZ vs IRE Dream11 prediction.
New Zealand currently sit pretty at the top of Group 1 owing to having a superior net run rate (NRR) compared to England and Australia. A win in this fixture will almost assure them of a place in the semi-finals.
Ireland, on the other hand, have given a brilliant account of themselves in the World Cup, beating former champions England and West Indies. While they have a slim chance of making it to the semi-finals, Ireland will start as underdogs against New Zealand.
With two valuable points and possibly a semi-final berth up for grabs, a cracking contest is on the cards at the Adelaide Oval.

Devon Conway (3 matches, 96 runs, Average: 48.00)
Devon Conway has been New Zealand's best batter over the last few months, coming up with sizeable contributions at the top of the order. He has 96 runs in three matches in the tournament, with 92 of those coming against Australia. With the southpaw due another big knock, Conway is a top pick for your NZ vs IRE Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Finn Allen (3 matches, 59 runs, SR: 196.67)
Finn Allen, like Devon Conway, started the tournament with a fine knock against Australia. He faltered against England and Sri Lanka, with the spinners being brought on early to tackle him. However, Allen is capable of scoring big runs, with his strike rate of 196.67 holding him in good stead. Given his potential, Allen could be a fine addition to your NZ vs IRE Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Curtis Campher (6 matches, 119 runs, SR: 170.00)
Curtis Campher has come up with handy knocks in the tournament, scoring 119 runs at a strike rate of 170.00. He has also chipped in as the sixth bowler, picking up a few wickets in the process.

Trent Boult has been New Zealand's best bowler in the tournament with six wickets at an average of 12.83.

Finn Allen
Finn Allen is one of the best openers in the world with 528 runs in 21 matches at an average of 25.14. Allen also strikes at 165 with the bat, holding him in good stead.

Paul Stirling is another explosive opener who has shown glimpses of his ability in the tournament. He has scored 133 runs in six matches at an average of 26.60.
