Zimbabwe Betting Analysis
So far, the top wicket-taker for Zimbabwe over the course of this ODI series has been Blessing Muzarabani. The right-arm pacer has picked up five scalps, including a four-wicket-haul back in the first game. If the home side are to come out victorious in this rubber match, Muzarabani will have likely played a decisive role with the ball and a stake on him via the ‘Team - Top Bowler’ market has to be favoured.
Ireland Betting Analysis
The consistency of Ireland’s Curtis Campher with the bat warrants attention from bettors after he followed up his 44 in the first ODI with a patient 63 on Sunday in what was a successful run chase. Batting at number three this series, Campher has proven a dependable foil in the position and should be backed to maintain his recent form by scoring over 23.5 match runs here for what would be the third game running.
Zimbabwe vs Ireland Expert Prediction
Ireland responded brilliantly to losing the opening ODI and now we’ll see how Zimbabwe react to defeat. More significant contributions will be needed from a batting perspective and a player pushing beyond the 50s and 60s and scoring a century could make the difference, regardless of whether the hosts are setting or chasing a target. But in a fixture that has the potential to go either way, consider backing Zimbabwe with that home advantage.
