Hosts Zimbabwe (ZIM) and the visitors Ireland (IRE) are set to have yet another clash in the third T20I of their three-match series, at the Harare Sports Club, in Harare. The Chevrons are looking forward to this series with courage, having secured a dominating 1-0 triumph over the Irish side. Nevertheless, looking at their previous record and recent form, their T20I format has been contrary. The series opener brought no result due to the rain playing spoilsport.
Meanwhile, Ireland will be excited to make a comeback in the shortest format after their ODI setback. Both teams will be focusing on tuning up their combinations and sequences as they gear up for crucial assignments ahead.
Zimbabwe, with home advantage on their side, will look to continue their dominance and put pressure on Ireland, but the guests are known for their resilience and recoiling. An exciting battle is on the cards as both teams get afoot in Harare for their final contest.

Pitch Report
The Harare pitch seems to be more favourable for spin bowlers as the surface is slow and it is likely that the ball spin more. It'll be a little difficult for the batters to play but the batters who can play more effectively against spin and pace can score appropriate runs. However, as the match gets the breakthrough, the pitch might settle down which can make stroke play a little easier. The team winning the toss might chase first, leading the team likely to a positive outcome.Head-To-Head Record
