Topmost Picks for ZIM vs IRE Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Zimbabwe

• Sikandar Raza- Sikandar Raza has failed in both the games so far and this will be concerning for the team. In the absence of Williams and Ervine, Raza is Zimbabwe’s biggest hope. 
• Richard Ngarava- Richard Ngarava has been consistent in the series and the Ireland batters have found it hard against him. Once again, the left arm pacer will be looking for a decent show.

Top Picks – Ireland

• Harry Tector- Harry Tector  is a match winner with the bat on his day. The batter averages 50 in ODIs. He got a start of 21 in the 2nd ODI but failed to convert. However, he is very consistent so expect some fireworks from him very soon. 
• Curtis Campher- Campher brings a lot to the table, with bat as well as ball. He played a match winning innings of 66 in 2nd ODI. He is also very handy with the ball and has delivered many memorable performances for Ireland.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for ZIM vs IRE Dream11 Team:

Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Milton Shumba, Clive Madande, Sikandar Raza(C), Ryan Burl, Richard Ngarava, Curtis Campher(VC), Craig Young, Joshua Little, Blessing Muzarabani

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for ZIM vs IRE Dream11 Team:

Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, T Kamunhukamwe, Clive Madande, Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, B Mavuta, Curtis Campher, Mark Adair, Joshua Little(C), Blessing Muzarabani(VC)

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Sikandar Raza, Joshua Little

Vice-captain – Harry Tector, Blessing Muzarabani

Wicketkeeper – Lorcan Tucker

ZIM vs IRE Probable Winners:

Ireland will begin as the favorite. Zimbabwe is missing Sean Williams and Craig Ervine, and they don’t appear to have the batting quality to score big runs or even last 50 overs. They may reach a high total if Sikandar Raza fires, but Raza has looked out of sorts in both games, which is a major concern. At the moment, Ireland appears to be far ahead of Zimbabwe, so we recommend backing Ireland to win. Considering the team combination, Zimbabwe is expected to win this match.

ZIM vs IRE Match Preview

The second ODI of the three-match series will be played between Zimbabwe and Ireland. The game will begin at 12:45 p.m. IST at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Ireland will feel cheated out of a win after the first ODI was rained out. Ireland had Zimbabwe on the ropes, leading 126-6 before rain forced an early end to the game. The performance, on the other hand, will instill great confidence in Ireland. The team performed admirably in the T20I series and appears poised to win the ODI series as well. Unless Sikandar Raza shows up and has a great series, Zimbabwe will struggle to stop the Irish juggernaut.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Sikandar Raza, Harry Tector

Vice-captain – Harry Tector, Curtis Campher

Wicketkeeper – Lorcan Tucker

ZIM vs IRE Probable Winners:

Ireland will begin as the favorite. Ireland’s batting looks bleak without Sean Williams and Craig Ervine. The entire burden of scoring runs falls on Sikandar Raza and, to a lesser extent, Ryan Burl. Other players lack experience and may struggle against quality Irish bowling. Zimbabwe’s chances of victory appear bleak. Considering the team combination, Zimbabwe is expected to win this match.

ZIM vs IRE Match Preview

The first ODI of the three-match series will be played between Zimbabwe and Ireland. The game will take place on December 13 at 12:45 p.m. IST at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Zimbabwe will look to bounce back after losing the T20I series 2-1. The ICC banned Sikandar Raza from the final T20 games, which shocked them. Sean Williams was out of shape, and Craig Ervine did not play. Ireland dominated the T20I series and will look to replicate their success in the ODI series. Their bowling looks decent but they have a lot of T20I stars in the batting.

ZIM vs IRE Probable Winners:

Ireland won the T20I series, but the ODI format is unfamiliar to the team. In fact, Ireland has not won an ODI series since 2021-22. The return of Sikandar Raza will be beneficial to Zimbabwe. Sean Williams will also feel more at ease in the format. Overall, Zimbabwe will be at ease playing ODIs and will start as favorites. Considering the team combination, Zimbabwe is expected to win this match.
