Ireland vs Zimbabwe 3rd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
The decider of the Ireland-Zimbabwe ODI series will be played at the Civil Service Cricket Club, Belfast on 13th September and is set to get underway at 3:00 PM IST
Ireland will be disappointed that the second ODI was called off due to rain. They were in a commanding position and had posted a solid 282 on the board. They would have backed themselves to win the match but rain played spoilsports. However, they will be happy that almost every batsman got runs in that game. Certainly, if they post another similar total, it will be hard for Zimbabwe to chase.
We had issues about the consistency of the visitors and the bowlers proved us true. They were wayward and didn’t look threatening at all. However, one thing that works in Zimbabwe’s favour is that they can’t lose the series, having won the first game. They can come and play an aggressive game without worrying about the result which might help them pull off another upset.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
IRE Team News
Ireland played the same team that fielded in the first ODI. With this being a must-win game, they are likely to stick to the same combination.
IRE Key Players
- Paul Stirling - Stirling has been in fine form of late. He got good starts in both the previous games but didn’t carry on. However, a big knock seems just around the corner.
- William Porterfield - Porterfield has two fifties in two games. However, he would be keen to work on his strike rate that has been on the lower side. Nevertheless, he has given his team solid starts which has helped the middle order to go berserk in the final overs.
- Harry Tector - Tector has two solid fifties in both games. He has looked very good and played some sizzling shots. He can be devastating in the final overs.
This is a must win game for Ireland if they are to draw the series.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team News
The visitors too are not likely to make any changes to their winning combination. However, they will expect a better performance from their bowlers.
ZIM Key Players
- Brendan Taylor - Having asked to open, Taylor played a wonderful hand of 49 in the first game. He didn’t get a chance to bat in the second and will be keen to start from where he left.
- Craig Ervine - Ervine seems to be peaking at the right time. After two back to back fifties, he’ll be keen to get a big hundred for his team.
- Sikandar Raza - Raza has a brilliant outing in the first game and won the Man of the Match award. He is one of the few Zimbabwe batsmen who can get on a roll and play back to back match-winning innings. The visitors will be expecting the same from their ace all-rounder.
Zimbabwe can’t lose the series, having won the first game.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11
Brendan Taylor, Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine (c), Dion Myers, Sean Williams, Wesley Madhevere, Sikandar Raza, Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava
