Since the 1st winning game slipped away for Ireland due to a brief misfield, they are hell-bent on winning the next, while Zimbabwe wants to increase the lead to 2-0 in order to solidify their position further.
Zimbabwe Preview
Despite a slow start from Zimbabwe, getting smashed boundaries in almost every over, they were able to step up their game after a couple of wickets and turn the game around.
With mostly new pace bowlers like Richard Ngarava, combined with a few experienced and talented spin bowlers like Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe’s bowling lineup is currently the strongest and can be the key factor to their victory.
Zimbabwe - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Sikandar Raza- the captain of the team is likely to be the best batter for obvious reasons. His performance in the T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier has been striking.

Zimbabwe - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Richard Ngarava can be the best bowler in this match, his recent performance and bowling line both have been exceptional.
Despite being a fast bowler, R. Ngarava only allowed 23 runs in his 4 overs and picked up 2 wickets in the process, with a striking 5.75 economy which played a big role in restraining Ireland within a low run target. His occasional yorker balls often become problematic to deal with, leading to LBW wickets.

Ireland Preview
Ireland started the game strong with a stellar opening pair who led the team to 44 runs in 4 overs but got stumped soon after, losing 2 wickets within 50 runs. The batting lineup of Ireland is well capable but requires composed gameplay and a set scheme of run rate to follow in order to score more than 170 runs.
Ireland has a chance to win if bowlers in the 2nd innings are able to pick up a few of the opening wickets of Zimbabwe within the 1st powerplay overs.
Ireland - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Paul Stirling is likely to be the best batter for Ireland, with his hard-hitting experience, he scored 3 boundaries, playing just 10 balls, and left the match with a 140 strike rate when he accidentally got out with LBW.
He set the tone for the match and if he hadn’t gotten out, he’d have definitely been the best batter and he has the betting odds to be the best batter again in the upcoming match if he is composed with the bat in hand.
