Pitch Report

A good batting track awaits the two sides with some purchase on offer for the spinners. Although the pacers should get movement off the surface with the new ball, it should skid onto the bat nicely. Middle overs will be crucial for both sides with wickets in hand being the key. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being par at the venue.

Today’s IRE vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Regis Chakabva: Regis Chakabva has failed to get going in the last two games, something that has dented Zimbabwe's chances of chasing down a big score. However, his ability to take on the pacers makes him a good option ahead of this game.

Batsman

Andy Balbirnie: While the opening duo of Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling have fired on all cylinders, Andy Balbirnie has gone about his work without any fuss. He got off to a start in the previous game and will be looking to sustain his form with a good knock in the final game of the series.

All-rounder

Wesley Madhevere: Wesley Madhevere has shown glimpses of his form at the top of the order but hasn't gone on to get a big one. With Ryan Burl's injury leaving Zimbabwe short on spinners, Madhevere could be a handy option in your IRE vs ZIM Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Mark Adair: Despite playing just two games so far, Mark Adair has been lethal with the new ball with seven wickets to his name. Adding his pinch-hitting ability only sweetens the deal for Adair, who is bound to be a popular pick for Dream11 fantasy teams.
