Zimbabwe vs Ireland, 1st T20I – Prediction

After staying away from international cricket for almost two months, both Zimbabwe and Ireland will play a three-match T20 series against each other. The first game of the Zimbabwe vs Ireland series will take place on Thursday at Harare Sports Club. The fixture between two minnows of cricket will surely be an entertaining one for the bettors as top bookmakers will surely be giving some fancy odds.

The hosts performed well in the ICC T20 World Cup and they gave a tough time to every opposition. Similarly, Ireland also did a great job at the group stage but unfortunately, both the teams were unable to make it to the knockout stage. The whole series is expected to be an absolute thriller and a positive end is expected for both teams.

Zimbabwe has recently picked up a pace in international cricket after almost disappearing from the circuit. They qualified for the ICC T20 world cup after six years and gave some unexpected shocks in the tournament. One of the most beautiful memories for Zimbabwe during the world cup was defeating Pakistan in a last-bowl thriller during a group-stage fixture.

Ireland has always come out as a strong opposition; they have always given a tough time to some experienced teams on international pitches. Ireland’s ICC T20 World Cup memory will be defeating England in a group-stage fixture and making things difficult for the world champions.

The first T20 will be a thrilling game to watch out for and can be a run feast with over 300 being scored in the whole match. We predict Zimbabwe’s win in the first T20 fixture.

The betting tip is...

Zimbabwe will Win
