Today Match Score: If Zimbabwe bat first, they could put up a total around 24-260 runs. On the other hand if Ireland bat first we could be in for a low scoring battle, as Irish bowlers could put Zimbabwe under pressure while chasing.
Today Pitch Report: The previous game at Port of Spain will favor the spinners, as Zimbabwe spinners picked up six wickets against Scotland. Scoring in the middle overs will be a huge task for the batsman, with the spinners putting on the pressure.
