Despite NZ losing the majority of our best players, it will still be great to test new potential like Scott Kuggeleijn and Seth Rance aswell as seeing Neil Wagner potentially making his ODI debut

I think to IPL?

Nah. They are still a good team.
I like how newcomers got chance here.

Good win for the Blackcaps. George Worker was a bit slow and Colin Munro is still rubbish IMO. Good attacking play from the rest of the team
though. O'Brien's century is sadly in vain.

 

[Yash.]

Wanted Ireland to win that one! Niall OBrien played really well!

Yeah it was evenly poised until Mitch Santner's second spell, which gave the Blackcaps a major boost.

Kiwi opinion: Sweet as

Irish opinion: DAMN SPINNERS WHY NOT GEORGE DOCKRELL WHYYYYYYYYYY

I'm surprised there was no final in this tournament.

Nah, would've been to close to the start of the champions trophy. It's nothing but a calm before the storm type tournament for NZ and Bangladesh be since the CT will be a bit more hectic. Good help for Ireland though.
