Zimbabwe vs Ireland Betting Tips
Zimbabwe to score under 21.5 runs 1st dismissal (1.84 @ Parimatch)
Zimbabwe’s strength is its bowling unit at the moment. It was the middle order that kept the team afloat in the game. Their opening pair consists of Wessly Madhevere and Tadiwanashe Marumani who average at 20.73 & 15.70 respectively in their ODI career. However, their average drops against Ireland where they average at 12.33 & 0.00 respectively. Marumani has played a single inning against Ireland in the format and returned without scoring any run in the game. The duo posted the scores of 15, 1 & 6 runs before their first dismissal in the three games. This has set a pattern and the efficiency for the Irish bowlers to pluck their first wicket pretty early in the game. The sides collided in the beginning of the year where Zimbabwe scored 9 & 1 run before their first wicket in those games. All these scores are lower than the target and should earn you a bonus too.
