Preview

Zimbabwe (ZIM) will take on Ireland (IRE) in the opening match of the T20I series on Thursday. This match will be played at the Harare Sports Club. Zimbabwe had a successful WT20 campaign as they beat Pakistan and competed well against the other teams. They will be without some of their key players like Raza but have got some big inclusion to the squad in the form of former England cricketer Gary Ballance. On the other hand, Ireland has also done well in this format and have a well balanced squad at their disposal for this series. This promises to be a closely fought match.

Clive Madande

ZIM | WK

Clive Madande does not have a good record in the shorter format and with some better options available in the keeper section it is better to leave him out for this match,

8.5

Barry McCarthy

IRE | BOWL

Barry McCarthy has been very inconsistent in the previous few series and has struggled to pick up wickets. Hence avoid him against this opposition.
