Cricket: NZ A bounce back to beat Ireland

New Zealand A have bounced back from a defeat to Ireland in the weekend with an 111-run victory in Dubai overnight.

Martin Guptill scored 129 and put on 138 for the opening partnership with Dean Brownlie (66) setting up a strong start for New Zealand.

Some big hitting down the bottom of the order from Nathan McCullum (31 from 18) and Kyle Mills (36 from 20) saw New Zealand A pass 300 before being dismissed for 337 with a ball to spare.

Adam Milne took 5-33 including clean bowling the last four Irish batsmen as Ireland were dismissed for 226 in the 41st over. Mitchell McClenaghan finished with 3-37 while Mills and Jimmy Neesham picked up a wicket each.

William Porterfield top-scored for Ireland with 63.

New Zealand A end their tour of United Arab of Emirates with three wins and the one defeat to Ireland on Saturday.
