The third and final T20I of the series between Zimbabwe and Ireland will be played at the Harare Sports Club on Tuesday, February 25. 

The hosts come into this game with a 1-0 lead with them. After the first T20I was washed out after only nine overs of the first innings in a rain-curtailed game, the second one the day subsequent to it turned out to be an amazingly close encounter. Zimbabwe got the better of the tourists by a three-wicket margin. 

This game marks the end of the multi-format series between the two sides. Ireland would want to finish on a sweet note. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe would be keen on winning the series.

Pitch Report

The deck at the Harare Sports Club has not been that easy for run-scoring of late. Considering this game is a night one, it could be expected that the skipper winning the toss opts to bowl first in order to make use of the conditions under lights in the latter half of the game.

Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Paul Stirling

After a couple of single-digit scores, the Irish skipper could be expected to lead from the front with the bat and get his team off to a flying start.

Probable Best Bowler: Josh Little

The left-arm pacer was a little wayward in the previous game. He could be expected to emulate his display from the T20I series opener, where he registered figures of 2/8 in two overs.
