Both Ireland and New Zealand have lost their games to India and Nepal respectively. Ireland will be led by Jack Tector, he is one of their better cricketers but has failed to make an impact in this tournament.

For New Zealand Zak Gibson and Nathan Smith have done a fine job with the ball while guys like Christian Leopard and Finn Allen have shown some fight with the bat in conditions that they are unfamiliar with. Their skipper Josh Finnie has failed to make a big impact with the bat and will look to lead from the front as his side looks for a consolatory victory. One can expect a fierce contest as this will be their last game in the tournament.
