Ireland vs Zimbabwe Chance of Winning

Ireland headed into this tournament in good form but have struggled to make an impact so far in this tournament. They have managed one win in three games and are currently fourth on the table. In the last match they went head to head against Oman and they won the game by 96 runs.

Unlike their opponents, Zimbabwe have surprised us all and have been sensational thus far as they have managed back to back wins and are currently second on the table. In the last game they beat Australia. As per our calculations, Ireland are favourites in the upcoming game.

Ireland vs Zimbabwe Prediction & Tips 2026

Paul Stirling has struggled for consistency last season and this campaign has been a struggle thus far as in two games, Stirling has scored six and one which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Ryan Burl was impressive last year as he was consistent and scored 558 runs last year with an average of 31. In the last game he scored 35 which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.
