Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch has a lot of runs on offer with some help available for the spinners. Although there won't be much swing available for the pacers, there is merit in taking pace off the deliveries. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 expected to be a match-winning total at the venue.
Today’s IRE vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Regis Chakabva: Although Regis Chakabva couldn't get going in the previous game, he has been in fairly decent form in the T20 format. Capable of taking on both the pacers and spinners, Chakabva is certainly one to keep an eye on in this game.
Batsman
Paul Stirling: Fresh off a century in the third T20I, Paul Stirling is bound to be a popular pick in today's IRE vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy teams. With an eye for a big score and possibly his off-spin coming into play early on, Stirling could be in for another big performance.
All-rounder
Ryan Burl: Ryan Burl has been Zimbabwe's best player in this series so far with his leg-spin ruling the roost in the middle overs. His pinch-hitting ability has also worked in Zimbabwe's favor, holding him in good stead ahead of today's encounter.
Bowler
Mark Adair: Mark Adair was quite impressive in the previous game, picking up two wickets. Capable of swinging the new ball and nailing the yorkers in the death overs, Adair will be Ireland's go-to man for wickets in this mouthwatering clash.
