Zimbabwe vs Ireland Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

Ireland's team performed well in the T20 world cup but in this series the team is not looking in a good touch. Their batsmen played irresponsible shots and lost their wickets. They failed to make a decent total to challenge the opponents. So we may expect a 2-1 series victory or a clean sweep for Zimbabwe.

Gareth Delany, Harry Tactor, Mark Adhir, Gary Ballance, Sean Williams and Ryan Burl are the good picks for fantasy lovers.
