ZIM vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis
The three-match T20i series has started on a sour note. The poor weather cut down the game, which was finally abandoned after the first innings. With this, the series is now a two-match affair, and both teams will look to take an unassailable lead. Both teams will look to put their best foot forward in this game.
Ireland has dominated Zimbabwe in the last few years and has won the last two games between the two teams. They have a more explosive batting lineup and shall look to take full advantage of it. Zimbabweans have a poor record at Harare, and it will be interesting to see if the team can overcome this.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Zimbabwe Preview
Sikandar Raza's team had a scare in the last game. It was a lucky escape for the team as they didn't have much on the scoreboard to defend when rain came to their rescue. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their good shows in the ODIs. They must play to their strengths and fully use the home advantage.
Brian Bennett has batted well in the last few games and will aim to set up a big partnership with Tadiwanashee Marumani. Raza must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Ryan Burl. Tony Munyonga and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers' role.
Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani know the conditions well, and the pair must get the early breakthroughs to put the Irish team under pressure. Wellington Masakadza and Trevor Gwandu must bowl well in the middle overs, as their opponents have a strong batting lineup. Raza and Ryan Burl add depth to the attack.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing XI:
Sikandar Raza (c), Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), Wessly Madhevere, Tony Munyonga, Ryan Burl, Tashinga Musekiwa, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani, Trevor Gwandu

Ireland Preview
Paul Stirling and his men will be upset with the outcome of the last game. They had restricted Zimbabwe to a small total in the game and could have won with their batting firepower. Stirling would like his men to pull out their best performance in this game and take an unassailable lead in the series.
Paul Stirling will look to lead from the front and deliver a strong start with Lorcan Tucker, as their opponents have a strong pace attack. Harry Tector and Curtis Campher are experienced batters and want to add runs in the middle order with Neil Rock. George Dockrell and Gareth Delany must add quick runs in the lower middle order.
The team will expect a good start in this game from Graham Hume and Craig Young after their good show in the last game. Joshua Little is the key bowler in this attack and will look to do well in the middle overs with Curtis Campher. The side will also like tight bowling from Benjamin White and Gareth Delany.
Ireland Predicted Playing XI:
Paul Stirling (c), Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, Neil Rock, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Graham Hume, Craig Young, Joshua Little, Benjamin White

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There would be cloudy skies over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board.
ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report
The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds.
Toss: To Bowl
The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won't be easy here at the start of the game, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage in rain-affected contests. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.
ZIM vs IRE
Winning Prediction
Zimbabwe's inconsistency with the bat is troubling the team. The top order struggled in the last game, and the team expects a better performance from them in this contest. The Irish side will be confident with their bowlers in good form. We expect a close contest, but Ireland will have a slight edge in this game.
