Zimbabwe made a brilliant start to the ODIs after their setback to their loss in tests. They will look to continue their momentum with another victory in this match and win this series. Ireland have been beaten comprehensively in the first ODI but will look to make a comeback in the next match. They will take confidence from their victory in their recent encounters.
Zimbabwe made a competitive total of 299/5 in their 50 overs. Brian Bennett was their star performer with 169 runs in 163 balls. Their top order batters Craig Ervine (66 runs) and Ben Curran (28 runs) made good starts and continued the momentum to make a big score. Their middle order kept losing wickets as no player crossed 20-run mark outside top-3.
Their bowlers bundled out the opposition for just 250 runs. Blessing Muzurbani (4/51) and Richard Ngarva (3/56) took 7 wickets between them and should stop the opposition line up from scoring runs effectively. Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza chipped in with a wicket each in the match.

Harare is expected to have slightly overcast conditions on the match day with some rain possibility. But we expect only small intermittent delays in the match.
Both teams will look to chase down the total here as the pitch will remain the same throughout the match.
Zimbabwe team played superb clinical game last night to win the first game comfortably. Their bowling and batting attacks were spot on with their execution. Ireland batters failed to make a big score and kept losing wickets in the middle order. Their bowling unit did not look like a threatening one last game. We expect Zimbabwe to continue their dream run in their home soil with a win in this match too.
