Ireland vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
Ireland will look to bounce back in the series after a loss in the first game. The second T20I will be played at the Clontarf Cricket Ground, Dublin and will get underway at 4:30 PM IST
Ireland would be disappointed that they failed to chase 118 in the last game and were restricted to 114, losing the game by 3 runs. The bowlers were outstanding and didn’t allow Zimbabwe batsmen to get going. However, the batters had a bad outing. Despite the loss though, Ireland won’t be too concerned as they are well aware of the conditions and have the resources to come out on top against Zimbabwe.
For Zimbabwe, their batting is still a concern. The likes of Craig Ervine, Westley Madhvere and T Marumani will have to play good knocks to take them to a decent score. They won’t be able to defend 117 in every game.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Despite the loss, Ireland are most likely to go in with the same team.
IRE Key Players
- Andy Balbirnie - Andy Bilbirnie failed to get going in the first T20I but has been in some good form of late. He’ll be keen to live up to the expectations and lead his team to a win in the second T20I.
- Paul Stirling - Stirling looked really good during his stay at the crease. He scored 24 of 19 balls. Ireland will need him to stay a bit longer at the wicket because if he does that, runs will flow.
- Simi Singh - Simi Singh once again showed his all-round skills and scored 28 runs in addition to his 2 wickets for 22 runs. He will be eyeing another decent outing in the next game.
Ireland lost their last series to South Africa 3-0

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team News
Zimbabwe too should not tinker with their winning combination and should stick to the same XI. Brendan Taylor is in the squad but we have no news why he wasn’t playing. We are assuming that he won’t play the next game either.
ZIM Key Players
- Regis Chakabva - He has been fantastic for Zimbabwe of late. Scored the bulk of their runs against Bangladesh and made 47 in the first game as well. The move to bat him in the top order has worked wonders.
- Craig Ervine - In terms of quality, he is Zimbabwe’s best batter. Looked good in the first game but didn’t score big. He would be keen to carry on and get a big 50 and help Zimbabwe post a good score.
- Ryan Burl - He picked up three wickets in the last game. The wicket will support the spinners thus he will once again be a big threat for Ireland.
The win was Zimbabwe’s third in their last 7 games which is good.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11
Wesley Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Regis Chakabva (wk), Dion Myers, Craig Ervine (c), Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava

A win in the first T20I must have raised Zimbabwe’s stakes but they are still underdogs going into the match. Ireland is a decent all-round side and should bounce back stronger. Ireland are favourites for us..
