MELBOURNE : Paceman Josh Little picked up Ireland's second hat-trick in T20 internationals when he grabbed a trio of New Zealand victims at the World Cup on Friday.
Ireland suffered an eight-wicket defeat in the first T20 international against South Africa in Abu Dhabi.
Ryan Rickelton and Reeza Hendricks half-centuries blasted the Proteas to a comfortable eight-wicket victory against Ireland in the first T20I at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
PJ Moor struck 79 for Ireland on day two of their one-off Test with Zimbabwe, but the historic fixture in Belfast remains finely poised.

Ireland were defeated by fellow group stage casualties Pakistan in a T20 World Cup dead rubber in Florida, losing by three wickets.
Former champions Pakistan restored a semblance of pride with a toiling three-wicket win over Ireland in their inconsequential final game of the T20 World Cup on Sunday. The 2009 champions, who were eliminated following their loss to India and the USA in the earlier group matches, restricted Ireland to 106 for 9 after opting to bowl with Shaheen Shah Afridi (3/22) leading the show. Despite chasing a not-so-daunting target, Pakistan's fragile batting was once again exposed as they slumped to 62 for six in 11 overs, raising the vision of another collapse. But skipper Babar Azam (32 not out) and Abbas Afridi (17) shared a 33-run stand to take them home at 111 for 7 in 18.5 overs.
A battling counter-attack by George Dockrell and Mark Adair fell short as Ireland suffered a shock 12-run loss to Canada in their T20 World Cup clash in New York.
Hardik Pandya wore a blue jersey on Wednesday but this time the crowd cheered him instead of jeering the all-rounder. The blue jersey Pandya donned on Wednesday was that of India's, and not the deep blue of Mumbai Indians in which he stood in the face of an intense storm during the IPL 2024. Here, Pandya played a key role with his fast-medium stuff that got him three wickets and “enjoyed hitting the stumps.” “Always special to play for the country, WC is something I've been able to contribute,” Hardik told broadcasters during the innings break during India's T20 World Cup match against Ireland.
