Ireland beat Zimbabwe by four wickets in the 2nd T20I to level the series 1-1. Ireland looked threatening in the first game but they failed to capitalize in crunch moments. However, they were brilliant in the second game and did not allow Zimbabwe a comeback. They restricted Zimbabwe to 165-5 before chasing the target in the last over. Harry Tector and Curtis Campher scored 48 and 37 respectively to seal the game for Ireland.

Both teams have preferred chasing in the series and it should stay the same for the final game.
The wicket is on the dryer side and it is not easy to time the ball. The batters are likely to struggle against the spinners. Pacer can get purchase if they put the ball in line of the stumps.
Rain has stayed away from the series so far and it should not be a concern in the final T20I. The weather will be clear, with temperature hovering around 30 degrees.

Zimbabwe suffered a huge blow as Sikandar Raza was banned by ICC for violating ICC rules. Raza missed the second T20I and will also not be available for the series decider. He was the main Zimbabwe player and his loss is a huge blow.
Zimbabwe without Sikandar Raza look very weak. The batting, fielding and even captaincy was ordinary if Raza’s absence.
Sean Williams, T Kamunhukamwe, Wesley Madhevere, Ryan Burl, T Marumani, Brian Bennett, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, Tony Munyonga, Luke Jongwe
Ireland have been good in the series and they would like to retain the winning combination. However, Barry McCarthy can return to the playing XI for Theo van Woerkom, who had an ordinary outing.
Irelandhave a few positives and a few concerns heading into the final. The bowlers have been top notch in both games but the batters have let the team down. Barring Balbirnie and Tector, there have not been many contributions.
Paul Stirling (captain), Harry Tector, Andrew Balbirnie, LorcanTucker(wk), Delaney, George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Joshua Little, Benny McCarthy/Theo van Woerkom, Craig Young Curtis Campher
It has been a close tussle between two teams. Zimbabwe have dominated Ireland in recent times but Ireland can take give them back a bit by winning the series.

The bookies are backing Ireland to win. Sikandar Raza was a big factor in Zimbabwe getting better odds but his absence from the series means that Zimbabwe look bleak.
We suggest backing Ireland to win. Since Raza, the best Zimbabwe player, is out of the final T20I and Sean Williams not in the best of form, Zimbabwe look weak and Ireland have a good chance of winning the series.
T Kamunhukamwe, Sean Williams and Ryan Burl will be key. Williams is the most senior batter and he needs to come good at all cost. Kamunhukamwe showed his skills in the 2nd game and scored 39 runs. Burl is also a very capable batter.
For Ireland, captain Paul Stirling, Harry Tector and AndewBalbirnie are top players. Tector and Balbirniehave shown good form in the series but Stirling’s form will be a concern. However, he is a match winner when he gets going.
We recommend Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava and Sean Williams as key bowlers. Ngarava has been top notch and very consistent for the team and Muzarabani has complimented him well. Williams can be handy if there is spin on offer.
Ireland will rest hopes on Mark Adair, Joshua Little and Craig Young. The three are Ireland’s lead bowlers and have been exceptionally well in the series.
Ireland will start as favouries. They missed out on a win in the first T20I but made up for it by winning the second game. In the absence of SikandarRaza, Zimbabwe look bleak. Raza was a big game changer for Zimbabwe and without him, Zimbabwe will find it tough to beat Ireland. Back Ireland to win.
