Key Players

Finn Allen

Finn Allen is an exciting talent. With the ability to play shots anywhere on the ground, he is very versatile. He is a top-order player but can be pretty flexible with his position as well. In the second ODI, he made a pretty steady fifty, coming in with New Zealand in a spot of bother. The fifty will definitely do him a world of good, giving him confidence that he can pace himself well in the ODI game. He certainly has the talent and with confidence building, he has the opportunity to push his career forward.

Harry Tector

Harry Tector continues to be Ireland’s most exciting player. He is consistent, aggressive, and paces his innings well. He has a calm head as well, and the final ODI gives him a chance to push his credentials in fifty-over cricket as well.
