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.
Today's match will be very tough for Zimbabwe to win, especially as they were all out for just 245 runs. However, if Zimbabwe can bowl and put Ireland under pressure like in the first match, then Zimbabwe will definitely have a chance. However, Zimbabwe's top order batsman Brian Bennett played an innings of 169 runs in the first match, which played a role in making 299 runs in the first match. However, in today's match, Zimbabwe's middle-order batsmen and lower-order batsmen failed to perform well enough, and the score came to a standstill at 245 runs.
Zimbabwe scored only 245 runs all out, which was an average total. Ireland is on the way to chasing the total current score of 139 runs in a loss of a single wicket. Ireland needs 107 runs from 22 overs to win this match, and I hope Ireland will easily because the required run rate is under 5 runs per over. Zimbabwe already led the series by winning the first ODI match of the series, and now Ireland will win this match and level the series. Paul Stirling is currently playing at 57 runs while Curtis Campher is playing at 45 runs. Zimbabwe bowlers failed to pick early wickets. Only Blessing Muzarabani picked that one wicket. Ireland will easily win this match because 9 wickets in their hands, and they level the series.
