THE LOWDOWN
ZIMBABWE
A thrilling first T20i of the series saw the hosts come out on top by the barest of margins. One wicket to be precise, as Blessing Muzarabani saw Zimbabwe home off the last ball of a nail-biting contest that had both nations fired up to the max. As is so often the case, Sikandar Raza proved Zimbabwe’s difference maker with a crucial 65 in the run chase.
IRELAND
Ireland fell short once again in a close contest, it’s becoming a very worrying habit. Ultimately, they didn’t get enough runs on the board as no batter went on to make a crucial half-century plus score despite multiple players getting stars, including the entire top four. This left their bowlers a little too much to do.
THE PREDICTION
There is clearly very little between these sides and that was demonstrated in the first match. It is likely that we will see another tight encounter that should keep the crowd entertained throughout. But Zimbabwe have that extra shot of world class talent in Raza within their ranks and that could well turn out to be the difference once again. Back Zimbabwe to double their series-advantage.
BETTING TIP: ZIMBABWE TO WIN
