Pitch Report
A decent batting track beckons in Belfast, but the weather could play spoilsport. Although there should be some swing and extra bounce on offer, the batsmen will enjoy the ball skidding on to the bat. The spinners will be key in the middle overs given the turn on offer, making for a crucial middle phase for either side. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with DLS likely to come into play in today's game.
Today’s IRE vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Brendan Taylor: Veteran Brendan Taylor is set to play his final ODI for Zimbabwe and will be keen to leave on a high. He has been fairly consistent in the last year or so and should get some quick runs at the top of the order.
Batsman
Andy Balbirnie: Andy Balbirnie has failed to get going on this tour despite showing glimpses of his batting prowess. The Irish captain is due for a big knock in the top order, making him one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Simi Singh: Simi Singh has been brilliant with the ball against the Zimbabweans, with his spell in the first ODI also boding well for the home side. He will be key in the middle overs once again as Ireland searche for a series-leveling win in Belfast.
Bowler
Blessing Muzarabani: Blessing Muzarabani has been the go-to bowler for Zimbabwe with his knack of picking up wickets serving Zimbabwe well. With conditions suiting his ability, Muzarabani is a must-have in your IRE vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy team.
