Another whitewash, another series win for the Kiwis

In the 3rd T20I and the last match of the series, Blackcaps beat Ireland by 6 wickets and remained unbeaten on the tour. They also won the ODI series by 3-0 and showed complete dominance in the tour.
1st innings:
Ireland posted good total of 174 after winning the toss. No one hit fifty from the side but the impressive knocks of Paul Stirling and Lorcan Tucker before the stunning performance of Mark Adair helped them to reach at competitive total. Blair Tickner and Ish Sodhi, both grabbed 2 wickets each. 
2nd innings:
New Zealand begun aggressively before losing the wickets of Finn Allen and Dane Cleaver. Glenn Phillips played brilliantly and was the top score from the side with 56 runs in 44 deliveries including just one four and a six. 
He got support from Daryl Mitchell, who scored 48 in 32 before the destructive batting of James Neesham(23 in 6 balls). Joshua Little took 2 wickets but his team mates Craig Young and Curtis Campher were too expensive.
