Zimbabwe Betting Analysis

Zimbabwe can call upon Sikandar Raza to offer something valuable to this ODI side with both bat and ball. Batting quickly is a strength for Sikandar with his power capable of helping him to big innings down the order. With that in mind, bettors should consider a stake on him to strike over 0.5 match sixes.

Ireland Betting Analysis

The 50-over format is one which really suits Ireland top order batter Harry Tector, who is very good at mixing control with aggression. He is a stylish cricketer and can stick around at a crease, building an ODI innings and making potentially a match-winning contribution. Explore backing Tector to record 30+ runs.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland Expert Prediction

Zimbabwe will hope to put their disappointing Test match defeat behind them here, but they face an Ireland side full of confidence and more than likely stuff on cloud nine after their red-ball win. Momentum is a powerful factor in bilateral cricket with the short turnaround and it would be no surprise to see Ireland transfer their Test success into this ODI.
