IRE vs ZIM Team Previews

Ireland

Ireland struck back after losing the opening match of the series thanks to some terrific performances from Paul Stirling, Kevin O Brien, and George Dockrell. The fact is that Ireland’s batting is not the strongest and it will always be dependent on performances from its senior players.

Andrew Balbirnie has not yet scored too many runs but he should join the party as well. Early wickets can really set back Ireland but that is not something unique to it. The middle-order and all-rounders are not the greatest and that is why a batting collapse cannot be ruled out.

Playing in home conditions is something that should help Ireland have an advantage over Zimbabwe.

Ireland has improved its bowling attack quite a bit in recent times. Shane Getake picked up three wickets in the previous match but he is not the only person you want to watch out for. Barry McCarthy, Craig Young, and Simi Singh are all quite dependable on most days.

Ireland Playing 11

Andy Balbirnie, PR Stirling, Kevin O'Brien, George Dockrell, William McClintock, Shane Getkate, Neil Rock, Simi Singh, Mark Adair, Joshua Little, Ben White.


Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe has been scrappy in the series up until now but far below its best. The team’s top order has not been playing to its potential and it has had to be bailed out by the bowling attack or the lower order batsmen.

This means players like Ryan Burl, Craig Ervine, and Milton Shumba have had the most impact in the series so far.

We rate Madhevere as a good batsman and Chakabva is also someone who can get runs quite quickly but they have not shown good form in this series. It may be difficult for them to be able to get runs, just as it has been up until now.

Zimbabwe lacks the batting depth that is needed to be able to get the runs to win consistently. Its bowling is also not at its best without Blessing Muzarabani available for the series.

Ryan Burl has picked up five wickets so far and is the leading wicket-taker for Zimbabwe. Players like Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, and Wellington Masakadza need to step up.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather forecast for Bready is quite good and we should not have any interruptions due to the rain. As far as the pitch goes, reports suggest a flat wicket that is slow in nature and maybe with some inconsistent bounce. The boundaries are not too large but they are not exactly small either.

The batsmen may have to work hard for their runs and something around 140-150 is going to be hard to chase down.

IRE vs ZIM Betting Tips

We are going to bet on Ireland to win this match. It has the momentum after winning the previous match and most of its top-order batters are now scoring runs. The bowling attack is also decent and has had the advantage over Ireland’s top order for the two matches played so far.

We think there is a good chance that Ireland could win this match.

Bet on Ireland to win.
