Ireland vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI

Second game between Zimbabwe and Ireland is in progress and after 12 overs Zimbabwe are 55/2. Zimbabwe have won first ODI and Ireland must win today's game to keep the series alive. Brian Bennett who scored 168 runs in first ODI and Craig Ervine who scored 68 runs both are out today. Ireland have got 2 big wickets and they must make sure that Zimbabwe will not give a target of around 250 otherwise it will be difficult for Ireland to win the game.

Zimbabwean batsmen Brian and Ben Curran are hosting today batting. Zimbabwean batsmen have lost their wickets very early, their batsmen have lost 2 wickets in 12 overs, due to which their target may also be weak. Zimbabwean batsmen won the first match and they should win this match as well which will make it easy for them to win this series. Zimbabwean batsmen have scored only 47 runs in 12 overs. Ireland bowlers are good play which will give them an easy target to win this match and take interest in the series. Zimbabwe are looking weak in this match and Ireland should take advantage of this because if they lose this match they will have no chance of winning the series anywhere and may lose this match as well. The Zimbabwean batsmen must pick up their pace which will make a difference to their target.

It's true that the Zimbabwe team had a solid performance today, but will they be able to pull off a win in the end?
I doubt because the Ireland team has enough effort focused on winning this match today. Did you notice some changes in the Ireland bowling, putting a lot of pressure on the bowling side due to which the Zimbabwean team could not increase their runs. Collecting 208 runs in 43 overs, their batting performance can give Ireland a chance to win this match today.
