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 from 120 balls and put on 138 for the opening partnership with Dean Brownlie (66) setting up a strong start for New Zealand.
Guptill hit
five sixes and nine boundaries in his innings.
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.
