Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
Brendan Taylor and Craig Ervine scored 44 and 57 respectively in the last game against Scotland which resulted in a tie. The former is amongst the leading run-getters in the tournament and the team will want him to play a big knock against Ireland this Friday. Zimbabwe will turn to Tendai Chatara to take early wickets with the new ball and will hope that Sikandar Raza does the job for them later on. The off-spinner has so far been their best bowler with ten wickets in four matches.

Ireland Team News & Playing 11
William Porterfield, Paul Stirling, Kevin O'Brien and Ed Joyce have all made vital contributions with the bat. Porterfield and Stirling who made 92 and 126 respectively against the UAE are amongst the top batsmen in the tournament and Ireland will rely on these two to score big in this match. Boyd Rankin was the standout performer with the ball last time with excellent figures of 4-15 from six overs. The pacer has claimed nine scalps in four matches and he will be the biggest threat to the Zimbabwean batsmen.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland Prediction
Both teams played well in the group stage of the tournament and both seem to be pretty evenly matched on paper. Zimbabwe however do have the advantage of playing in their own conditions which will make Ireland's job a little more difficult. Head-to-head in ODIs, the latter has managed to win just three out of nine matches and only twice in the four matches at this venue. Zimbabwe therefore clearly hold the upper hand here which is why we predict them to be the winners of this face-off.
Final Verdict: Back Zimbabwe to beat Ireland at 1.29 on 1xbet, 1.72 on Bet365, 1.70 on Unibet and 1.67 on 10Cric.
