IRE vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis The third and final ODI between Ireland and West Indies is set to take place on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin, starting at 3:15 PM IST. Ireland currently leads the series 1–0, having secured a commanding 124-run victory in the first ODI, highlighted by Paul Stirling’s milestone achievement of surpassing 10,000 international runs.  The second ODI saw West Indies post an imposing total of 352/8, however, persistent rain led to the match being abandoned, leaving the series outcome to be decided in the final game. Historically, the West Indies have dominated the head-to-head record. However, Ireland has shown significant improvement in recent years, including a series win in the Caribbean in 2022. The final ODI promises to be a thrilling contest that could mark a new chapter in Ireland’s cricketing history. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Preview Ireland will play the final ODI of the series at home in Dublin. So far, they’ve had a good outing. They won the first ODI by 124 runs and were confident going into the second game, which unfortunately ended without a result due to rain. In the first match, Ireland put up 303 runs on the board. Andy Balbirnie was outstanding, scoring 112 off 138 balls. Paul Stirling, the captain, contributed with a solid 54. Stirling also reached the incredible milestone of 10,000 international runs— the first for Ireland. Their bowling was just as impressive. Barry McCarthy was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/32. Josh Little supported well with tight lines and picked up a wicket. The second ODI didn’t go in Ireland’s favour with the ball. West Indies made 352/8 in their 50 overs. But due to rain, Ireland didn’t get a chance to chase and probably avoided a defeat. Luckily, this sets the stage for the final ODI, especially since Ireland can’t lose the series now. Andy Balbirnie – 112 in the first win – and  Paul Stirling are the key batters for Ireland, while Barry McCarthy – 4 wickets for 32 runs and Josh Little are key bowlers for Ireland. In the recent past, Ireland have done well against the West Indies, winning 3 of the last 5 head-to-head games. Ireland have the home advantage and the confidence of a series lead. They have a strong chance to seal the series if they repeat their all-around effort from the first game. West Indies Preview The West Indies are currently on an away tour in Ireland, contesting a three-match ODI series. After a heavy defeat in the first ODI, they showcased a strong batting performance in the second match, which was unfortunately abandoned due to rain. With the series standing at 1–0 in favor of Ireland, the West Indies have a chance to level the series in the final game. In the first ODI, the West Indies struggled, managing only 179 runs in response to Ireland’s 303, resulting in a huge 124-run loss. However, they bounced back in the second ODI, posting a formidable total of 352/8. Keacy Carty led the charge with a well-crafted 102, while Matthew Forde provided a late-innings blitz, scoring 58 off just 19 balls, equaling the record for the fastest ODI fifty by a West Indian. Keacy Carty with a century in the second ODI is a key batter for West Indies, followed by Matthew Forde who can add crucial runs at the back end of the innings. Alzarri Joseph, with his pace and aggression, will be crucial in providing early breakthroughs. Gudakesh Motie lead the spin attack and is crucial in the middle overs. Playing away from home, the West Indies have shown resilience and the ability to adapt. With momentum from their batting performance in the second ODI, they are well-positioned to challenge Ireland and aim for a series-leveling victory. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Castle Avenue, Dublin is expected to be mild and breezy with intermittent showers. The temperature will range from between a high of 16°C and a low of 8°C. A couple of showers are expected throughout the day. We might see an interruption in the game. Hopefuly, it won’t be a washout like the second ODI. IRE vs WI Pitch Report Castle Avenue Cricket Ground, located in Clontarf, Dublin, is a historic venue established in 1958. Home to the Clontarf Cricket Club since 1896, it has a seating capacity of 3,200 spectators. The ground hosted its first One Day International during the 1999 Cricket World Cup, featuring Bangladesh and the West Indies. Toss: To Bat At Castle Avenue, Dublin, the toss outcome doesn’t heavily favor either side. In 29 ODIs played here, teams batting first have won 14 times, while those bowling first have won 13 games. The average first innings score stands at 212, with the second innings averaging 159, indicating a slight advantage for batting first. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

IRE vs WI Match Prediction & Analysis Ireland defeated the West Indies by 124 runs in the 1st ODI of the three-match series. The action moves to the second game, where Ireland would fight hard for a series win as the West Indies look to level it. Ireland dominated both departments in the last game, and the team will look to repeat it as the West Indies aim to find their mojo.  The West Indies have enjoyed good form in the last 12 months. The side has won six out of its last eight games. Their batting lineup is formidable, and the team will look to take advantage of it. Ireland shocked the visitors in the last game with a good show, and it will be interesting to see if they can repeat the same magic and win the series. TEAMS PREVIEW Ireland Preview Paul Stirling and his men put up a strong show in the last game. The team entered this series with a string of failures but put up a clinical show in the last game with the bat and the ball. They are on the verge of a series win against a higher-ranked opposition, and Stirling would like to grab it with both hands.  Andrew Balbirnie hit a match-winning hundred in the last game and will look to deliver an electrifying start with Paul Stirling. Harry Tector batted well and must cement partnerships with Cade Carmichael and Lorcan Tucker in the middle order. The team will expect runs in the lower middle order with George Dockrell, Thomas Mayes, and Andy McBrine.  The bowlers will be confident after their good show in the last game. Barry McCarthy and Thomas Mayes will look to strike early in the game to put the West Indies on the back foot. Joshua Little and Liam McCarthy will look to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs. The team expects a good show in the supporting role from Andy McBrine and George Dockrell. West Indies Preview Shai Hope and his team want to come out of the massive defeat in the last game. The team struggled with the bat and the ball as they allowed the hosts to post a big total and suffered a batting collapse in the run chase. The West Indies skipper would like to take lessons from the last game and put up a better show in this contest.  Evin Lewis and Brandon King failed to deliver a good start in the last game, and the team expects them to set up a big opening-wicket stand. The middle order didn’t get going, and the team needs Keacy Carty, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo to build partnerships. The team’s lower middle order is strong, and the side needs a good show from Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, and Matthew Forde.  The bowling attack looked rusty in the last game, and the team needs tight spells from Alzarri Joseph and Matthew Forde in the early overs. Gudakesh Motie troubled the batters in the last game, and he must do well in the middle overs with Shamar Joseph. Roston Chase and Justin Greaves must bowl tight spells in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions The skies over Dublin will be overcast, and we expect the batting conditions to be challenging due to the weather. Batsmen shall need to play to the merit of the ball on this surface. We saw more than 300 runs being scored in the last game, and the team batting first will be happy with 320. IRE vs WI Pitch Report The Village, Dublin, has shorter boundaries, but the outfield is heavy. Batting conditions are good here as the ball comes to the bat nicely, and we have seen big scores being made here in the past. The wicket aids the fast bowlers with the new ball. There isn’t much on this track for the spinners, and they have to rely on their variations to do well at this venue.  Toss: To Bowl The team that chased the score in the last six games won four times. The wicket is a bit challenging initially, but the conditions improve as the game progresses. The team winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by bowling first in this game.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland, IRE vs ZIM 2025, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ ​​Zimbabwe vs Ireland𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 25, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe​​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd T20I 2025 Rain could disrupt proceedings in the third game with a chance of a few showers and a thunderstorm rolling in later in the afternoon. Zimbabwe vs Ireland​ TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ZIM vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis Ireland suffered a narrow three-wicket defeat in a closely contested second T20, handing Zimbabwe a 1-0 lead in the series. All eyes are now on the third and final T20I, set to take place in Harare on Tuesday. Ireland will aim to bounce back and level the series with a win, while Zimbabwe will be determined to maintain their momentum and secure a series victory. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe edged out Ireland by three wickets in the second T20I, successfully chasing 138 in 19.2 overs. They got off to a shaky start, slumping to 14-3 within the first four overs. But thanks to Ryan Burl’s composed 27 off 20 and an unbeaten 43 off 30 from Tony Munyonga, they crossed the line comfortably in the end. Zimbabwe’s batting depth has been a real asset in this format, giving them the freedom to attack without leaning too heavily on one player. Brian Bennett and Wessly Madhevere have been consistent at the top and are likely to enjoy batting on this surface. Ireland Preview After a below-par performance in the second T20I, Ireland will aim to hit back strongly in the third match. Their batting let them down last time, as they could only manage 137-8. Lorcan Tucker (46 off 40) and Harry Tector (28 off 20) were the standout performers, but the rest of the team didn’t contribute enough. If Ireland want to get back on track, their batters need to fire. Paul Stirling, Curtis Campher, and George Dockrell have the talent to pile on the runs and will be expected to rise to the occasion. Stirling, in particular, brings a lot of experience to the table and will be counted on to play a big role. Tucker’s presence at the top of the order is essential. Whether it’s by setting a brisk pace or rebuilding after early setbacks, his recent form makes him a key player for Ireland. In terms of bowling, Craig Young and Graham Hume are set to play pivotal roles. Young was brilliant in the previous game, picking up 4-24 in his four overs. Meanwhile, Josh Little and Benjamin White add depth to Ireland’s attack and could prove effective in taking wickets when it matters. Weather Conditions The pitch at Harare Sports Club is expected to offer a fair contest between bat and ball. It should provide a hard surface with even bounce, which will help the seamers throughout. Spinners might get some assistance as the game progresses into the middle overs. The outfield is fast and in excellent condition, which could lead to bigger hits and quicker runs. The weather forecast suggests cloudy conditions, with a couple of showers and a possible thunderstorm expected in the afternoon and later in the day. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Harare Sports Club is 155. The highest score posted here is India’s 234-2 against Zimbabwe in 2024, a game they won comfortably.  Toss: To Bowl As the last match showed, chasing is usually the better option at Harare when conditions are cloudy and we expect both captains to field first if they win the toss in this match.

ZIM vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis The three-match T20i series has started on a sour note. The poor weather cut down the game, which was finally abandoned after the first innings. With this, the series is now a two-match affair, and both teams will look to take an unassailable lead. Both teams will look to put their best foot forward in this game.   Ireland has dominated Zimbabwe in the last few years and has won the last two games between the two teams. They have a more explosive batting lineup and shall look to take full advantage of it. Zimbabweans have a poor record at Harare, and it will be interesting to see if the team can overcome this.  TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Sikandar Raza’s team had a scare in the last game. It was a lucky escape for the team as they didn’t have much on the scoreboard to defend when rain came to their rescue. The Zimbabwean skipper would like his players to draw inspiration from their good shows in the ODIs. They must play to their strengths and fully use the home advantage.   Brian Bennett has batted well in the last few games and will aim to set up a big partnership with Tadiwanashee Marumani. Raza must do well in the middle order and build partnerships with Wesley Madhevere and Ryan Burl. Tony Munyonga and Tashinga Musekiwa must do well in the finishers’ role. Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani know the conditions well, and the pair must get the early breakthroughs to put the Irish team under pressure. Wellington Masakadza and Trevor Gwandu must bowl well in the middle overs, as their opponents have a strong batting lineup. Raza and Ryan Burl add depth to the attack. Ireland Preview Paul Stirling and his men will be upset with the outcome of the last game. They had restricted Zimbabwe to a small total in the game and could have won with their batting firepower. Stirling would like his men to pull out their best performance in this game and take an unassailable lead in the series.  Paul Stirling will look to lead from the front and deliver a strong start with Lorcan Tucker, as their opponents have a strong pace attack. Harry Tector and Curtis Campher are experienced batters and want to add runs in the middle order with Neil Rock. George Dockrell and Gareth Delany must add quick runs in the lower middle order.  The team will expect a good start in this game from Graham Hume and Craig Young after their good show in the last game. Joshua Little is the key bowler in this attack and will look to do well in the middle overs with Curtis Campher. The side will also like tight bowling from Benjamin White and Gareth Delany. Weather Conditions There would be cloudy skies over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on the board. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield is also a challenge. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds. Toss: To Bowl The track is dual-paced, and batting against the spinners is difficult. Batting won’t be easy here at the start of the game, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage in rain-affected contests. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​ Zimbabwe vs Ireland​​ ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 22, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:00 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Ireland have dominated Zimbabwe in 20-over cricket in recent years, emerging victorious in three of their last five meetings.  Zimbabwe vs Ireland TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ZIM vs IRE Match Prediction & Analysis Zimbabwe and Ireland switch gears from ODIs to T20Is this weekend, kicking off an exciting three-match series at Harare. Fresh off their 2-1 ODI triumph, the home team will look to keep their momentum going in the shorter format. But T20 cricket brings its own unpredictable nature, giving both sides a fresh chance at success. With Sikandar Raza leading the charge for Zimbabwe and Paul Stirling marshaling his Irish troops, we’re in for some explosive cricket as Ireland aims to bounce back from their recent setbacks. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe are set for the T20I series with a well-balanced squad that includes both experienced players and up-and-coming talents. Brian Bennett and Dion Myers are expected to lead the charge at the top, bringing stability while also keeping the scoreboard moving. In the middle order, Wessly Madhevere and Sikandar Raza add reliability. Raza, in particular, has been in excellent form, averaging 40 against Ireland in T20Is, making him a key figure in the middle overs. As for the bowling, Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani will take charge with the new ball. Both pacers are well-versed in these conditions and could make life difficult for Ireland’s top order. Ireland Preview Ireland will be eager to bounce back in the T20Is after falling short in the ODI series. Their form in 20-over matches has been inconsistent—they managed to hold South Africa to a 1-1 draw at home but also suffered unexpected setbacks, including a loss to Canada in last year’s T20 World Cup. To improve their chances, Ireland’s batting lineup needs to deliver. Paul Stirling, Harry Tector, and George Dockrell have the ability to put up big scores. Stirling, in particular, has an excellent record against Zimbabwe with a T20I average of 40.70. Curtis Campher and Lorcan Tucker will be crucial in the middle order, whether that means accelerating the run rate or steadying things if early wickets fall. On the bowling side, Mark Adair and Graham Hume are expected to play major roles in taking wickets, with Adair’s ability to extract movement off the pitch making him a threat. Josh Little and Matthew Humphreys could also make an impact as wicket-taking options for Ireland. Weather Conditions The Harare Sports Club pitch presents a balanced surface. We are likely to see a firm track with consistent bounce. Short boundaries square of the wicket will encourage aggressive batting, though spinners could find some grip in the middle overs. The outfield is quick and well-maintained. The weather will be cloudy with chances of a couple of showers and a thunderstorm in the afternoon and later. ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Harare Sports Club is 157. The highest score posted here is India’s 234-2 against Zimbabwe in 2024.  Toss: To Bowl Due to the forecast of cloudy skies and the possibility of rain in the afternoon, it is likely that both teams will opt to field first in the hope of getting early wickets.

We expect a slightly spicier pitch as this is only test match and batting will be easier for the first 3 days once the early moisture settles down during the first day.  Toss: To Bat We expect both skippers to bat first here as chasing in the fourth innings is very difficult on this pitch.

BANW vs IREW Match Prediction & Analysis Bangladesh Women will be under pressure as they take on Ireland Women in the 2nd match of the three-match series. The hosts lost the first game by 12 runs and need to win this game to level the series. Ireland Women will feel confident after their good show in the last game, where they snatched a win from the jaws of defeat.  Bangladesh Women enjoys a good record against Ireland Women. The side has won the last four out of five games between the two teams. They know these conditions well, which will be an advantage for the team. As the series hangs in the balance for the Bangladeshis, it will be interesting to see if the team can win here. TEAMS PREVIEW Bangladesh Preview Nigar Sultana will be upset with her team’s loss in the last game. They were in a position of strength in their run chase with a hundred-plus stand from the openers. But a batting collapse in the middle hurt the team. Sultana would like a strong show from her players in this game as they fight to level the series.  Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary set up a 103-run stand in the last game, and the team expects a similar start from the pair. Nigar Sultana, Sharmin Akhter, and Taj Nehar must build partnerships in the middle order for the team to win. The team also expects a good show in the lower middle order from Shorna Akter and Rit Moni.  Ireland Preview Gaby Lewis and her girls will be confident heading into this game. It was a much-needed win for the team after a series of failures on this tour. The skipper led from the front in the last game, and she will be happy with the performance of her bowlers, who held their nerves together. Lewis would like a strong show from her players in this contest.  Gaby Lewis batted well in the last game and will look to deliver a good start in this game, along with Amy Hunter. Leah Paul is in good form and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Orla Prendergast and Laura Delany. Una Raymond-Hoey and Sarah Forbes add firepower to this batting lineup.   Orla Prendergast and Ava Canning are experienced bowlers, and the team needs them to strike early to unsettle the Bangladeshis. Arlene Kelly and Freya Sargent must do well in the middle overs, as the batters will take them on. Laura Delany will look to do well in the supporting role with Aimee Maguire. Weather Conditions Sylhet will see clear skies, and we expect to see challenging batting conditions in this game. The wicket is slow, and batters have to play to the merit of the ball. The average first-innings score at this venue is 136 runs, and the team batting first would like to have 160 on the board. BANW vs IREW Pitch Report Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is a good venue for the bowlers, and they have done well here in the past. Fast bowlers do well with the new ball; the spinners also enjoy bowling and have enjoyed success. Batters must stick to the wicket and rotate strikes to do well in this game. Toss: To Bowl The wicket is challenging for batting, and batters have struggled to time the ball in the last few games. Under these circumstances, the side bowling first would have an advantage. Hence, the side winning the toss here would opt to bowl first in the game.
