It is almost certain that Ireland will win today's match, especially since it is difficult to say at this point which team will win if Zimbabwe's bowling is good at the Zimbabwean venue. Since Ireland's bowling has been good against Zimbabwe, there is a possibility that Zimbabwe's bowling will also be good. Ireland started their innings with a target of 246 runs and have made a good start so far and Ireland have not lost a wicket at 18 runs. However, since the run target is not very high, i.e. a target of 246 runs is not a difficult task in any way for the ODI format, there is an 80% chance of Ireland winning today's match.

So Ireland have to chase 245 runs and it should not be difficult at all. All they need is to bat the full 50 overs and they will be on the winning site. Saving wickets is the key and runs will automatically come. Andy Balbirnie was out early making 12 runs. He was bowled by Muzarabani. He was out on zero in the last match, this opener isn't good enough for Ireland. Paul Stirling , who is the captain, has to play a good innings here if Ireland are to win this match. Rest of the Ireland batsmen are in good form and I don't see why they can't win today.
