MATCH: Zimbabwe vs Ireland
DATE: Dec 17, 2023
TIME: 12:45 IST / 7:15 GMT

VENUE: Harare Sports Club – Harare, Zimbabwe

TOURNAMENT: Zimbabwe vs Ireland

Zimbabwe and Ireland are all set to take on each other in the third and final ODI of their ongoing series. After the first ODI produced no result, Ireland were quick to bounce back and clinch the second ODI, winning the game by four wickets.

The surface at the Harare Sports Club is one that batters will look to stay patient on. However, once they settle, they will look to post a big total on the board. Hence, opting to bat first can prove to be a wise decision at this venue given the nature of the surface up on offer.

Probable Best Batter: Curtis Campher 

Ireland’s Curtis Campher could be the best batter in the third ODI of the series. Scoring 66 runs in 71 deliveries, Camphor’s knock could once again prove to be crucial for the side in clinching the series and it could be interesting to see how he fares. 

Probable Best Bowler: Joshua Little

Ireland’s Josh Little could be the best bowler in the third ODI against Zimbabwe. Taking six wickets in the second clash, Little was the standout performer for his side, and the same will be expected from in the upcoming game.

ZIM vs IRE Top Team Bowlers

We recommend Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava and Sikandar Raza as key bowlers. Ngarava and Muzarabani have been consistent for Zimbabwe and fetched a few key wickets for the team. Raza is a primary spinner in the team and often ends up being the leading wickettaker for Zimbabwe in the match.

Ireland will rest hopes on Mark Adair, Joshua Little and Craig Young who are the backbone of Irish bowling. Little was on fire in 2nd ODI and picked 6 wickets. Mark Adair and Craig Young have also been very consistent on the tour. 

Zimbabwe vs Ireland CBTF MACHA Prediction

Ireland will start as favourites. Zimbabwe are without Sean Williams and Craig Ervine and they don’t seem to have the quality in batting to put big runs or even last 50 overs. If Sikandar Raza fires, they may reach a strong total but Raza has looked off colour in both games and this is a huge worry. At this moment, Ireland look way ahead of Zimbabwe thus we suggest backing Ireland to win.

ZIM vs IRE Predicted Playing XI:

Zimbabwe

Joylord Gumbie, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Innocent Kaia, Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Clive Madande (wk), Luke Jongwe, Brandon Mavuta, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani, Tanaka Chivanga

Ireland

Paul Stirling (c), Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), George Dockrell, Andy McBrine, Mark Adair, Graham Hume, Craig Young, Joshua Little
