IRELAND
In spite of having been dealt a very tough Group B draw, Ireland will likely see advancing to the Super 12’s as a minimum requirement, given that they were eliminated at this stage of the 2021 T20 World Cup.
With the likes of Paul Stirling and Harry Tector, they have the capability of scoring big runs, but their bowlers will also have to step up, and a lot of eyes will be on left-arm paceman Josh Little, who impressed in the 2022 Hundred match.
ZIMBABWE
In their last nine T20I games, Zimbabwe have won seven, including two victories over Bangladesh, and head coach Dave Houghton has challenged his players to reach the Super 12.
The Chevrons recently recorded their first ever victory against Australia on their own turf, a testament to how well they are playing at the moment, even if it was in the 50-over format.
1. Toss Prediction
Since 70% of Hobart games have been won by the team batting first, the toss will play a significant role in the match. Zimbabwe are expected to win the toss against Ireland.
2. Win Possibility
Ireland have won three of their last five T20Is, while Zimbabwe have lost just one of their previous five.
On paper, Zimbabwe is a better team than Ireland, and they are expected to continue their good form in both batting and bowling when they face Ireland at the T20 World Cup.
4. Predicted Powerplay Score and Average Score
The Bellerive Oval in Hobart has an average first innings score of 182, while the powerplay score is predicted to be between 35 and 45.
