New Zealand women upbeat about today’s game against Ireland

Having notched a convincing win in their opening tie against Sri Lanka, the New Zealand look all geared up to take on “underdogs” Ireland in the ICC Women’s World T20 match to be played here on Friday. The Kiwis defeated the islanders with a stunning all-round performance. In a pre-match press conference here today, the Kiwi women’s team skipper Suzie Bates said a win against the islander was a good one, but it will be a fresh start on Friday. The top order player said they have some quality pace bowlers, who can exploit the conditions to their advantage.
