IRE VS NZ - 3rd T20I, New Zealand tour of Ireland, 2022

New Zealand take the trophy after a job well done. A clinical effort over these three games to complete the whitewash. That's all from us here. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, it's goodbye!

Santner: Credit to our depth at the moment. These guys are coming in and stepping up straightaway. Guys like Bracewell have played a lot of domestic cricket. Pride ourselves on being team first. Different guys given different roles.

Balbirnie: Wanted to set up a good score batting first. Thought it was a good score. Really impressive chase. It's another game we've lost, got to go back and take a look at ourselves. We've enjoyed our cricket. As long as we're improving and playing good cricket, that's all we ask.

Phillips, Player of the Match and Series: Team effort all the way around. Talk about it a lot (running between the wickets). Especially with the WC in Aus coming. It's about playing the situation as it comes. Would've liked a higher SR today. But it's a team game.

Mitchell Something we spoke about in the team, something we take pride in (running between the wickets). Knew there was a shorter side, targetting that. Being smart at the other end.

19:24 Local Time, 18:24 GMT, 23:54 IST: Ireland were a bit more competitive today, but they haven't been able to stop New Zealand from completing the whitewash. It's 3-0 to the visitors, like it was in the ODIs. The partnership between Philips and Mitchell got the job done for them today. The pair put on 82 for the fourth wicket, taking them within sight of victory before Neesham walked in to put the finishing touches with an over to spare. Ireland opted to bat first in this game, after choosing to bowl in the previous two matches. But their batting continued to misfire. It was only thanks to a 7th-wicket partnership of 58 off 23 balls that got them to a score of 174. It wasn't enough in the end.

Young to Neesham, SIX, good length delivery slanted away outside off, but it's not wide enough. Neesham swings across the line and whacks it over midwicket, all the way for six. The ball seems to be lost in the trees somewhere. A few spectators are helping in the search

Young to Glenn Phillips, 1 run, slower length ball outside off, Phillips gives charge and slaps it to deep point
