Ireland vs Zimbabwe Cricket Betting Tips 1st T20I Live Score

IRE vs ZIM Prediction: Ireland and Zimbabwe are set to kick off their five-match T20I series today. In the last series, Ireland hosted South Africa and produced some outstanding performances in the ODI leg, including a stunning victory in the second ODI. However, the hosts lost four consecutive games, including the last ODI and the next three T20Is. Their bowling did admirably, but the batsmen let the team down.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, had a dismal T20I home series against Bangladesh last month, losing 2-1. Before that, they played Pakistan, again winning a solitary match. There are less than two months for the T20 World Cup, and both teams will look to finalize their plan for the big event.
