Barry McCarthy was welcomed into the attack with a six over long-on in the 2nd T20I between Ireland and New Zealand at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast. Pitched full and right in the slot for Finn Allen to swing his arms, the hit-me ball was deposited over the fence with a straight bat. McCarthy couldn’t follow the boundary ball with a good one either, spraying it down the leg as Allen swung it away over short fine for four. New Zealand are cruising at the moment, having scored 40 runs in 4 overs. Ireland need wickets, and they need them now.
6️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ 🔥
Consecutive boundaries for Finn Allen, who is striking at over 200! #IREvNZ
