ZIM vs IRE, 4th Match Preview

The second game in Pool B of the 2022 T20 World Cup sees Zimbabwe and Ireland go head to head on Monday evening in Tasmania. Zimbabwe did not take part in last year’s competition as they were suspended from international tournaments during the qualifying period. Ireland finished third in Pool A in 2021. Zimbabwe return to the T20 World Cup with some experienced players. They should be competitive against Ireland but may lack enough batting depth. Ireland have tested themselves against top teams this year including India, New Zealand, South Africa and Afghanistan this summer. They will consider themselves favourites for this game.
