Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Betting Tips
Zimbabwe Women to score low before first dismissal
Zimbabwe's openers, Sharne Mayers and Modester Mupachikwa, face an uphill battle to get a strong start against Ireland's bowlers. Their recent outings haven't been promising, with scores of only 10 and 22 runs against Vanuatu Women and UAE Women, respectively. Their struggles against Ireland Women in their T20I series prior to this have also been somewhat unimpressive. Their opening partnerships were inconsistent, ranging from a lowly 7 runs to a highest of 77. This lack of consistency suggests Ireland's bowlers could put them under pressure early on, and Zimbabwe might be looking at a low score before they lose their first wicket.
Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Toss Prediction
There has been a 100% success rate for the chasing side at Zayed Cricket Stadium in the tournament this season. The average first innings total has only been a paltry 93 runs and the teams batting first have not stood a chance in the slightest. The victories have all been achieved by substantial margins and there is no way the toss winning side would risk setting a target when they could enjoy a surefire victory by fielding first instead.
Weather Report
The temperature at Abu Dhabi is projected to reach 34 degrees Celsius and there is absolutely no possibility of precipitation. It is expected to be quite sunny on match day.

Their batting order is also quite strong but both departments would have to work in unison to increase their chances of winning.

Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Betting Odds
Ireland Women to have a better opening partnership than Zimbabwe Women
Modester Mupachikwa and Sharne Mayers have been the mainstays for Zimbabwe Women on the opening front but they have not been very impactful in the two matches they have played so far. They started their campaign by adding ten runs to the scoreboard together against Vanuatu Women and only performed slightly better against United Arab Emirates Women where they put on a score of 22 runs. Ireland Women’s openers have proven to be quite a dangerous pairing and their partnership of 52 runs against UAE Women is testament to their strength. Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis also share a brilliant track record against Zimbabwe Women in their T20I series prior to this. There is no doubt that the duo will outperform Zimbabwe Women’s opening order in the upcoming match.

Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Best Batters
Amy Hunter to be Ireland Women’s Best Batter
Amy Hunter showed good promise in the first match against United Arab Emirates Women where she scored 25 runs and achieved a strike rate of 131.57. After the form she displayed against Zimbabwe Women in their T20I series where she scored 240 runs in five innings, she will be expected to come good against Zimbabwe Women this time as well.
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano to be Zimbabwe Women’s Best Batter
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano was the leading batter for Zimbabwe Women in their last match as she scored an unbeaten 36 runs, striking at 138.46. The asking rate was rather low and given the opportunity, she had it in her to contribute more. She leads the teams run charts with 47 runs in two innings, making her a dependable choice for the next match, too.
Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Best Bowlers
Eimear Richardson to be Ireland Women’s Best Bowler
Eimear Richardson was tied as the top bowler for Ireland Women in their previous match against United Arab Emirates Women. She delivered four overs, including a maiden, and conceded 15 runs which earned her an economy rate of 3.75. With a bowling average of 7.50 so far, she will be anticipated to be their premier bowler again.
Josephine Nkomo to be Zimbabwe Women’s Best Bowler
Josephine Nkomo delivered a brilliant spell against United Arab Emirates in their last outing, wherein she bagged four wickets in her four-over spell. She was also quite economical during the match as she gave away just 11 runs and achieved an economy rate of 2.75. She is the top choice to be their leading bowler in the upcoming fixture.
