TEAMS PREVIEW
Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women have started their tournament with a win against United Arab Emirates Women at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. After putting the UAE in, they restricted them to 105-9 and chased the target in 16.1 overs with six wickets remaining.
It was a spirited bowling performance, with Eimear Richardson (2-15 from 4) and Arlene Kelly (2-12 from 3) doing the bulk of the damage.
Laura Delany didn’t take any wickets in the previous game, but she has been the most consistent bowler for Ireland in recent times, taking 13 wickets in her last 10 matches at an economy of 5.25.
The batting unit didn’t have a tough ask in the last game, but four of them scored valuable 20s on a slow surface, with Gaby Lewis (27 off 22 balls) being the top-scorer. Lewis has taken the world by storm with her aggressive batting at the top. She has 268 runs in her past ten matches, with a strike rate of 113. Lewis holds the record for scoring the first century in women's T20Is for Ireland and is our batter to watch out for in this match.
Amy Hunter (384 runs in the last 10 matches at a strike rate of 128) is one of Ireland’s most exciting young batters. We feel she will provide a solid start to the team in this match.
Ireland Women Predicted Playing XI:
Amy Hunter (wk), Gaby Lewis, Orla Prendergast, Laura Delany (c), Eimear Richardson, Rebecca Stokell, Leah Paul, Arlene Kelly, Ava Canning, Cara Murray, Alana Dalzell

Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe’s tournament started with a stunning loss to Vanuatu Women. However, they managed to make a strong comeback with a solid performance in their next game against the United Arab Emirates Women. Zimbabwe restricted the UAE to 105-9 on a sluggish surface at Tolerance Oval, and then chased the target down in 15.3 overs with 8 wickets in hand.
New ball bowler Josephine Nkomo was the star of the game for Zimbabwe, taking 4-11 in her four overs. Off-spinner Precious Marange (13 wickets in 5 matches in the Africa Region Qualifier) is another bowler we reckon will do well on this surface against the Irish batters.
Among the batters, Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (34* off 25 balls), Mary-Anne Musonda (28* off 24 balls), and Modester Mupachikwa (22 off 33 balls) made notable contributions. Musonda and Mupachikwa have been the in form batters for Zimbabwe in recent times and will need to step up their game against Ireland
Kelis Ndhlovu may not have done much so far in this tournament, but she is someone who can be agame-changer for Zimbabwe. The 18-year-old all-rounder has already established herself as a key player for Zimbabwe. Her outstanding performance as skipper in the ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup 2023 catapulted her to prominence.
Zimbabwe Women Predicted Playing XI:
Sharne Mayers, Modester Mupachikwa (wk), Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Mary-Anne Musonda (c), Kelis Ndlovu, Josephine Nkomo, Pellagia Mujaji, Precious Marange, Audrey Mazvishaya, Francisca Chipare, Lindokuhle Mabhero

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium has been on the slower side. The ball is gripping the surface a bit and not coming on to the bat quickly. Timing the ball isn’t easy here, particularly in the first innings. The wicket does tend to get better in the second half. However, seamers and slower bowlers will dominate the proceedings.
The weather in Abu Dhabi will be very warm and clear. We will have a full game.

The average score batting first at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the WT20 Qualifiers has been between 105 and 110 runs. If Ireland Women bat first, they would be targeting a score of around 130-140 runs. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, might get around 110-120 runs if they bat first.
Toss: To Bowl
All four matches played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in this tournament have been won by the teams chasing. So, it’s almost certain that the team winning the toss will choose to field first here.
IREW vs ZIM-W
Winning Prediction
Seven T20Is have been played between Ireland Women and Zimbabwe Women, with Ireland winning each of them. While in this format any team can win on their day, we reckon Ireland are favorites to win this clash. They look much stronger in all departments and only a total batting collapse against Zimbabwe’s bowlers can result in a loss for them. That’s unlikely to happen, and we are backing the Irish girls to dominate this contest.
Back Ireland Women to win this match comfortably.
