Zimbabwe vs Ireland Betting Tips

Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe’s skipper, was absolutely dominant in their first match against Ireland. He was easily their most valuable player as he emerged as the top batsman and bowler, underscoring his excellent all-rounder capabilities. He scored a half-century in the first match with 65 runs from 42 deliveries, and then went on to claim three wickets in four overs. Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani were tied as the second highest wicket-takers for the team with two wickets each.

Andy Balbirnie, Ireland’s opener, was the top run-getter for his team with 32 runs from 25 balls. Gareth Delany was a close second as he managed to amass 26 runs from just 11 deliveries during the death overs. Their bowling department performed incredibly as four bowlers - Mark Adair, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy and Craig Young - captured two wickets each in an attempt to defend their total.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland Toss Prediction

The match is going to be held at Harare Sports Club, Zimbabwe. A total of 40 T20 matches have been held at the venue, and 24 matches were won by teams batting first and 16 by teams batting second. During the first match between Ireland and Zimbabwe at this venue, the latter won the toss and elected to field first. This decision worked out favorably as Zimbabwe was able to beat them, albeit by a razor thin margin. Taking this recent outcome into account, it seems likely that the toss winner of the upcoming match could opt for the same strategy and field first.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland Betting Odds

Ireland to score more runs during the first six overs

In their first match against each other, Ireland was able to muster a score of 52/1 by the end of six overs. They only lost one wicket up until that point during the fifth over of their innings. They made great use of the advantage and laid out a brilliant foundation to build on. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, faltered slightly in the beginning of their innings as they were only able to achieve a score of 35/2 by the end of six overs. Given this massive disparity in performance, it seems likely that Ireland could score more runs during the powerplay overs in the next match.

Half of his scoring was achieved through boundaries, as he managed to hit five boundaries and two 6s. He stayed on the field for majority of the innings as his wicket was only taken in 18.3 overs.

Andy Balbirnie, Ireland’s opening batsman, was their leading run scorer in the first match against Zimbabwe as he amassed 32 runs from 25 deliveries, which translated to a strike rate of 128.00. A bulk of his scoring was done through boundaries as he hit a whopping six boundaries and one six. He did his job by laying out a foundation for the rest of the batsmen to build on, considering he lost his wicket in 6.2 overs. He can be expected to emerge as their premier batsman once again.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland Best Bowlers

Richard Ngarava to be Zimbabwe’s Best Bowler

Richard Ngarava was tied as the second highest wicket-taker for Zimbabwe in their first match against Ireland - in a full quota of four overs, he gave away just 23 runs and claimed two wickets in the process, resulting in an incredible economy rate of 5.75. He was highly economical with the ball and can be relied upon to emerge as their top bowler in the next game.

Josh Little to be Ireland’s Best Bowler

Josh Little was tied as Ireland’s top wicket-taker in the first match against Zimbabwe, wherein he delivered four overs, conceded just 17 runs and captured two wickets, resulting in an economy rate of 4.25. He was incredibly economical given that he bowled 13 dot balls and only allowed on extra during his spell.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe and Ireland have displayed signs of struggle in the recent past. The former toured Namibia during a T20I series and lost by a scoreline of 2-3 to their adversary. Ireland’s last T20I series was against India, wherein they lost 2-0 as the third match was abandoned. Both teams have faced their fair share of hurdles, but given Zimbabwe’s performance against Ireland, they seem to be more likely to emerge as the victors in the upcoming fixture.

• Zimbabwe to win @ 2.20 (Parimatch)
