ZIM vs IRE Dream11: Zimbabwe aim to fix top-order woes, Ireland keen to deliver knockout blow
The story of the white-ball series for Ireland is not finishing games from a position of strength. In the first ODI, they had the hosts on the mat by picking early wickets, but yet again Ryan Burl stood in the way of the Irish by playing a match-winning knock of 59. Ireland bowlers losing the plot, in the end, has been frustrating, and the visitors need to tighten up if they harbor hopes of leveling the series. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe would be hoping to fix top-order woes.
Ervine, Madhevere, and Innocent Kaia have not shown enough consistency. Ballance got a start in the first ODI but failed to make it count. With Sikandar Raza and Burl in fine form, a better top-order display will help take the pressure off the two reliable batters.
