𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Ireland𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 25, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 14:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 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.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Ireland𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 23, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd T20 2025 Zimbabwe’s big test after a poor batting show in the first game 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 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.

Their middle order kept losing wickets as no player crossed 20-run mark outside top-3. Their bowlers bundled out the opposition for just 250 runs. Blessing Muzurbani (4/51) and Richard Ngarva (3/56) took 7 wickets between them and should stop the opposition line up from scoring runs effectively. Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza chipped in with a wicket each in the match. Ireland Preview Ireland batters were bundled out for just 250 runs in the match. Curtis Campher top scored with 44 runs while Stirling, Harry Tector, L Tucker, and G Dockrell got starts but failed to carry on the momentum and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 02 ,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd Test 2024 Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan 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 AFG Match Prediction & Analysis The first Test between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan at Bulawayo ended in a high-scoring draw with both teams scoring bountiful runs on a placid surface. The two teams will meet again for the second and final Test of the series at the same venue beginning January 2. With the pitch expected to be similar to the first Test, we are in for another run-fest. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview Zimbabwe’s batters put up a strong show in the first Test at Bulawayo, piling on 586 on the board after choosing to bat first. Sean Williams (154), Craig Ervine (104*), and Brian Bennett (110) were all among the runs, showing how rock-solid the home side’s middle order is. Opener Ben Curran also showed some form, scoring 68 and 41 in the two innings, while Takudzwanashe Kaitano looks like a good prospect at the number three position. Afghanistan Preview The Afghans will be delighted with their stunning performance with the bat during the first Test, where they amassed a humongous total of 699 after conceding 586 runs with the ball. Rahmat Shah (234) and Hashmatullah Shahidi (246) were the stars of that incredible batting performance, which also included a hundred by Afsar Zazai. Shah and Shahidi are Afghanistan’s most important batters and are expected to make big scores in the second Test as well. All-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai didn’t have the best games in the previous Test but we are backing him to make an impact in the next match. Weather Conditions Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, offers a historically batter-friendly track. Expect another placid pitch with minimal assistance for bowlers, likely leading to another marathon batting fest unless weather intervenes. Spinners will find some grip and turn as the match progresses, but it is unlikely to cause many problems for the batters. The weather in Bulawayo will be cloudy for most of the match with occasional bursts of thundershowers that might disrupt proceedings. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report Both teams will aim to bat first and pile on the runs. Don’t be surprised if the first innings from either side racks up a total well over 500 runs in what could turn into another high-scoring affair. Toss: To Bat Given that the conditions are likely to be extremely batting-friendly on the first three days, both captains will look to bat first here.

TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview In the batting department, the side will be relying on the likes of Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, Joyland Gumbie, Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza and Tadiwanashe Marumani to do the bulk of the scoring.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 21 ,Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 3rd ODI 2024 After a crushing defeat in the second ODI, Zimbabwe will have to raise their game across the park if they are to not lose this series 2-0! Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers 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 AFG Match Prediction & Analysis Sometimes in sport, one finds a mis-match and that was certainly the case on Thursday as Afghanistan dominated Zimbabwe from ball one en route to a triumph by 232 runs. The winning margin has led to many cricket writers and supporters of Zimbabwe cricket declaring the series already over but the truth is that after the first game was washed out, there is still the possibility of it finishing all square! TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview First things first, if Zimbabwe are to win this game and get back into the series ahead of the third and final match, they simply must find a way to play the Afghanistan bowlers better on Saturday! The tone was set at the top of the order when Ben Curran, brother of Sam and Tom, was run out from the final ball of the opening over for a six-ball duck and the team never recovered. They were eventually bowled out for just 54 and there would still have been 13 balls remaining in their innings if it had been a T20I! Afghanistan Preview There are many facts, stats and interesting points that one can pick out of the second ODI to show Afghanistan’s dominance but the most pertinent one is that they bowled out Zimbabwe for 54 without the great Rashid Khan even bowling one ball! That shows just how well the rest of the bowling attack performed with each of Fazalhaq Farooqi, Azmatullah Omarzai, AM Ghazanfar and Naveed Zadran picking up wickets whilst conceding less than 4.33 runs per over. Of course the batting was also very strong and the Afghans have a natural flair for attacking cricket. The opening pair of Sediqullah Atal (104) and Abdul Malik (84) will both come into this game brimming with confidence after putting on 191 inside 35 overs. Weather Conditions Although there could be some cloudy spells during the day, it promises to be another warm, sunny and dry one in Harare for this game with the temperature up at 29 degrees at its peak. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report There is something for the bowlers to work with in Harare but the hosts certainly batted under par by being rolled out for 54! Afghanistan’s total of 286/6 was not over par and we think that 300 is an average score on this wicket. Toss: To Bat Afghanistan will be happy to do whatever in this game first but we expect Zimbabwe to show some confidence in their batting if they win the toss. If they do not then the series could be over so we predict that both captains will want to bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 19 ,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 13:00 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 Zimbabwe eye a comeback with the bat New Zealand Women vs Australia Women 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 AFG Match Prediction & Analysis Though the 1st ODI was washed out due to rain, Afghanistan had found themselves on top of the game after they won the toss and opted to bowl first. The hosts were reduced to 5 down for 44 runs in the 10th Over. Craig Ervine will be concerned about the batting collapse in the first match and will expect a quick turnaround as they take on Afghanistan in the second game at the same venue in Harare. Afghanistan are trying out some new faces in the series. There were no Gulbadin Naib and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the bowling attack while Rahmanullah Gurbaz was also missing from the top-order. TEAMS PREVIEW Zimbabwe Preview It is safe to say that rain saved the home team in the opening game. It could have been a humiliating defeat had the game gone on. Zimbabwe need to find answers to their batting troubles. Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, and Sikandar Raza are the experienced players in the lower middle order. These 3 will be expected to deliver crucial runs and also build partnerships. However, a lot depends on the top order. A top-order collapse would affect the chances of reaching a competitive total. Ben Curran is opening the innings alongside wicket-keeper batsman Tadiwanashe Marumani. Afghanistan Preview Afghanistan will be confident after their recent outing where their bowlers put Zimbabwe on the back foot. AM Ghazanfar and Azmatullah Omarzai looked threatening with the ball. Along with Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, this bowling attack is as strong as it gets. Afghanistan bounced back after the first T20I loss and secured a 2-1 series win. The visitors haven’t had any easy outings on this wicket either and will be fully aware of the batting challenges the pitch poses. They have also got a few inexperienced players in the side like Sediquallah Atal and Abdul Malik who could be seen in the top order. The likes of Rahmat Shah and skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi will play a key role in the middle order. These two have played many impactful knocks against quality sides in the past including in the World Cup. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy with a high of 27 degrees Celsius in Harare. Though the previous match was washed out due to rain we expect to have a result in the 2nd ODI as there is no rain forecast on the match day. ZIM vs AFG Pitch Report It is a bowling-friendly wicket where the average 1st innings score in the last 10 ODIs has come down to 188 runs. We reckon anything around 250 will be a highly competitive total on this wicket. Bowlers will be key to victory at this venue and both teams have some promising pacers in the side. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 103 of the 198 ODIs played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Afghanistan were on top of the game in the opening match after winning the toss and opting to bowl first. Both teams will be eager to bowl first and get the upper hand in the contest with early wickets.
