Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Chance of Winning

Ireland played superbly in the first T20I and romped home without much trouble. Their captain Gaby Lewis led from the front with the bat, scoring 67 runswhile Cara Murray was the star with the ball, picking up three wickets for 19 runs. Ireland will be looking to seal the series in the second T20I itself, with one game to go.

To their credit, Zimbabwe did well in the first T20I. But their efforts weren’t enough to beat Ireland. Their batting should improve significantly as only two batters reached double digits. Even though skipperChipo Mugeri Tiripano scored 42 runs, there was literally no support for her from the other end. Their bowlers did well to delay Ireland’s chase up to 17th over. With the series on the line, the visitors will be keen on putting up a good show in the second game.

Ireland have completely dominated Zimbabwe Women in T20Is, winning all eight matches against them so far.

Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Betting Odds

Ireland Women to have a better opening partnership than Zimbabwe Women

As expected, Ireland openers Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis added 39 runs, much more than what the Zimbabwe openers did in the first T20I. Not much is expected to change in the second T20I. The Zimbabwean duo of Modester Mupachikwa and Kelis Ndhlovu will have to bat at their best to get the team off to a good start. On the other hand, Gaby Lewis is in great form for Ireland and Hunter is also due for big runs. Hence, Ireland Women are expected to have a better opening partnership than their counterparts in second T20I.

Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Top Batters

Gaby Lewis to be Ireland Women’s top batter

Gaby Lewis was the top run-scorer in the opening game of the series. She is expected to lead from the front yet agan in the second T20I.Lewis scored 67 runs off 49 deliveries with 13 fours and a six to her name in the 118-run chase and looked in supreme touch with the bat.Lewis can be backed to become the top batter for Ireland in the second game of the three-match series.

Chipo Mugeri Tiripano to be Zimbabwe Women's top batter

Zimbabwe captain Chipo Mugeri Tiripano fought alone with the bat for the team. She led from the front,mustering 42 runs out of the team’s 117 in their 20 overs. She faced 50 deliveries for the same and hit five fours. Even though the pace of the innings was slow, constant fall of wickets, never allowed her to up the ante. Nevertheless, the Zimbabwe skipper will be looking to continue in the same vein in the second T20I as well.

Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Top Bowlers

Arlene Kelly to be Ireland Women’s top bowler

Cara Murray was the top bowler for Ireland in the previous game but Arlene Kelly wasn’t too far. Kelly was the most economical bowler,picking up two wickets for just 10 runs in three overs. If she had bowled her fourth over, Kelly could’ve become the best bowler. However, she can make amends in this game and become the top bowler for Ireland in second T20I.

Kudzai Chigora to be Zimbabwe Women's top bowler

If Ireland’s run-rate was less than six for the first half of their chase, a lot of credit has to go to Kudzai Chigora. She bowled extremely well upfront and dismissed Hunter and Prendergast. Overall,she conceded only 18 runs in 3.5 overs to pick two wickets and also delivered a maiden over during her spell.Chigora is once again expected to become the top bowler for Zimbabwe.
