Zimbabwe vs Ireland 3rd T20I: Match Prediction – Who will win today's match between ZIM vs IRE?

In the absence of Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe (ZIM) struggled in the second T20I as Ireland (IRE) defeated them by four wickets to level the series. After the openers failed to make a mark, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe took control of the ship as he hit 39 runs off 27 deliveries. Ryan Burl and Clive Madande looked good as well but the team was lacking the X Factor. On the other hand, the bowlers did a pretty decent job but there’s room for improvement.

When it comes to the visiting team, Ireland struggled to get going following a few quick wickets but Harry Tector and Curtis Campher’s 66-run partnership sealed the deal for the team. However, the majority of the batters struggled to score and that is one area that the team management needs to address ahead of the third T20I.

Probable Best Performers from ZIM vs IRE

Probable Best Batter: Sean Williams

Sean Williams will be key for Zimbabwe in the final T20I. Sikandar Raza’s absence hurt the team in the last match and hence, the 37-year-old will have to step up in helping Zimbabwe seal the series. He started well in the last match and was in a good touch but failed to capitalize and that is what he needs to improve at the moment.

Probable Best Bowler: Richard Ngarava

Richard Ngarava is in good form and will be important for the home team in the final T20I. He picked up four wickets in two matches so far and has been economical as well.
