The second ODI between Ireland and Zimbabwe is set to take place at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on Friday.

Pitch Report

As seen in the previous game, the pitch is a good one to bat on with some help available for the bowlers as well. While there isn't much movement off the surface, the pacers should get extra bounce to keep the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 250 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s IRE vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Brendan Taylor: Brendan Taylor had a decent outing in the previous game, but he would have loved to get a big one. Given his experience and skill, Taylor should ideally get the nod over Lorcan Tucker, who is slated to bat in the lower-middle order.

Batsman

Andy Balbirnie: Andy Balbirnie couldn't get going in the previous game as he fell cheaply in the middle overs. However, Balbirnie is one of the best batsmen in the Irish team and should be one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder

Simi Singh: Although Simi Singh had a wonderful outing with the ball in the previous game, he couldn't turn up with the bat. But with the pitch playing into his favor, Singh is a must-have in your IRE vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Blessing Muzarabani: Blessing Muzarabani was the star of the show in the previous game with four wickets to his name. His ability to generate extra bounce and movement makes him a difficult proposition for the Irish batters, making him a good addition to your IRE vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy team.
