Top Picks for IRE vs ZIM Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batsman

Paul Stirling got good starts in the last two matches, but he wasn’t able to post a substantial score. Nevertheless, one can expect him to shine in the conclusive game, owing to his experience.

William Porterfield scored half-centuries in the first two ODIs and he won’t mind playing another impressive knock. Overall, he has scored 142 runs in the first two games.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Sikandar Raza scored a fiery half-century in the opening ODI, and hence, Zimbabwe bowlers must be aware of him. Not to forget, Raza can also contribute with his handy off-spins.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Andy McBrine was exceptional with his off-breaks in the first ODI. He read the pitch well and picked up a wicket at an economy of 2.6.

While many Zimbabwe bowlers struggled in the second ODI, Richard Ngarava bowled brilliantly. He picked up three crucial wickets.

Top Picks – Wicketkeepers

Brendan Taylor played a fiery cameo at the top in the first ODI. However, he would have been disappointed to miss out on the half-century. He scored 49 runs from 45 deliveries.
