Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is on the slower side with the batters having to work hard for their runs. The pacers should ideally get some extra bounce and swing early on, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the batters will look to maximize the powerplay restrictions. The spinners will be key in the middle overs with wickets in hand being key. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 140-150 being a good total at this venue.
Today’s IRE vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Regis Chakabva: Regis Chakabva has been Zimbabwe's best batter in the format over the last few months. With his ability to take the bowlers on early on in his innings, he will be key for Zimbabweans in this fixture.
Batsman
Paul Stirling: Paul Stirling couldn't convert a start in the previous game as the Irish missed his expertise in the middle overs. The burly opener could well play a role with the ball as well, making him a must-have in your IRE vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Wesley Madhevere: Wesley Madhevere couldn't get going in the previous game but he remains one of Zimbabwe's better batsmen in the side. With Sean Williams opting out of the limited overs series, Madhevere will be key at the top of the order and his handy off-spin.
Bowler
Craig Young: Craig Young picked up a few wickets in the previous game, using his skills and variations quite well. With conditions suiting him early on, Craig Young's new-ball spell will be crucial in the context of the game.
