Commentary

Right then! New Zealand are almost there in the final four! It's going to take a miracle and magic from Australia and England to send them home from this position. So realistically looking at the points table, one of Australia and England will make the other spot. Australia will face Afghanistan in the second match of the day and they need a big win, plus hope that England lose to Sri Lanka tomorrow.

We are marching towards the final phase of Super 12 matches, so results from here on prove to be decisive for the team's chances to secure a place in the semis. It's all starting from Australia vs Afghanistan, follow the live updates here. Now, it's time to end the coverage, until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Srivasta signing off

Kane Williamson (New Zealand captain): Really good team performance. We know what this Ireland team is capable of. It was holding on the surface and the openers helped us to get a good start and then we adjusted to things really well. My aim is to work on options and to build a partnership - That's the thing I was discussing with my partners. We were having a word to bowl slow after the first wicket in the 8th over mark and the spinners adjusted beautifully to bring us back in the game.

Andy Balbirine (Ireland Captain): We played a top-class team. We had a good start but failed to capitalise on it. Our fielding has been totally off in this tournament but we are proud of the way we played throughout. We started off well by beating Scotland and entered the group stages, really proud of our Cricket in the last 12 months but to get to the level of these teams, we need to step up. Little is a class operator and he once again showed us today

Kane Williamson is the Player of the Match: The ball held on the surface a little bit, I think the guys at the top were brilliant to give us the start and help us build the momentum. Then I think the spinners bowled brilliantly to get us the win. I was just trying to build some partnerships and contribute, happy to time a few balls as well today.

New Zealand beat Ireland by 35 runs
Kane Williamson 61(35) | Paul Stirling 37(27)
Lockie Ferguson 3-22(4) | Joshua Little 3-22(4)

Joshua Little registered his name in the history books with a hat trick but that was not enough to stop New Zealand from reigning supreme in this match. The spin duo Santner and Sodhi bowled incredibly well in the middle overs after Ireland's openers negotiated the pacers really well and helped his team to get off to a solid start

Ireland had huge expectations from their middle order but they failed to produce the goods as they fell prey to Santner and Sodhi's magic. Lockie Ferguson too did the damage on his part and got three wickets to his name, while Trent Boult didn't have a good day with the ball today. That 20-30 runs New Zeland got extra on this track helped them really to cross the finish line without any fuss.

19.6 Tim Southee to Joshua Little, New Zealand win easily! Full on the stumps, lofted on the bounce to long-off. Ireland's campaign ends here

19.5 Tim Southee to Joshua Little, now tries a lap as he shuffles across and falls in the process, does not make contact

19.4 Tim Southee to Joshua Little, SIX! Little backs away outside leg and mows this over deep mid-wicket, to the short boundary and easily cleared

19.3 Tim Southee to Barry McCarthy, slower outside off, slapped in the air and Ferguson is late to pick it up at long-off, falls on the bounce

19.2 Tim Southee to Joshua Little, full on off, drilled wide of mid-off for a single

Joshua Little, RHB, walks in at no.11

19.1 Tim Southee to Mark Adair, OUT! Slower outside off, Adair swats it but miscues it and Phillips coming in from long-on, then goes back to take a simple catch

Tim Southee (3-0-20-1) comes back into the attack

It's an off-day for Trent Boult, who likes to set the tone by getting crucial wickets inside the powerplay
