Zimbabwe vs Ireland Chance of winning

In the T20 series we have seen that Ireland came back with the 2nd match of the series but at last Zimbabwe named the series title. Here also we can anticipate the same. Zimbabwe played ODI series recently against India and Australia. They Defeated India but they lost against Australia. After getting the series title in T20s and winning the first ODI, hosts are high in confidence. Whereas Ireland started well in the previous year by defeating West Indies 2-1 but they were whitewashed 3-0 by New Zealand. Both the teams have equally balanced squads, same records so we may hope for another exciting match of cricket where the home team has more chances to win.

Our Prediction

Ireland is playing very good cricket on their tour to Zimbabwe but conditions and luck are not in their favor. Ireland had a good show in the first One Day International match of the series but they played slow in the middle overs. They played brilliantly in the 2nd match of the series and got a victory of 46 runs. On the other hand Zimbabwe also has the equal strength and has the benefit of home conditions as well, looking at these we predict a match and series win for Zimbabwe.
