T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[dezoel]

The first T20I match between Ireland and Zimbabwe will be played today at the Harare Sports Club. Remember that Zimbabwe failed to qualify for the 2024 T20I World Cup, and Ireland is not in great form either. Since Zimbabwe is having the home advantage, I would expect them to have an upper hand in this series. But at the same time, the same Zimbabwe side lost out not just to Namibia, but also to Uganda during the recently concluded 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier (and thereby failed to qualify for the world cup).

Currently, both teams are going down in quality but Zimbabwe having the biggest regret as they fail to qualify for the T20i World Cup against teams like Namibia and Uganda which is surely matter of concern for them and other stakeholders as well because their quality is consistently going down with performance level is also not good as it's needed, now today we are going to have their match against another struggling side Ireland which also completely fail to bring improvement into their performance and quality even their players are having much better environment.

Today most chances Zimbabwe going to have good advantage but still this is going to be anybody game with Ireland try their best for having good start but in last few games we have home side in better position with better results.

The T20 match between Ireland and Zimbabwe is underway but Zimbabwe won the toss and invited Ireland to bat. In this case, Ireland is performing well in the beginning, especially after the first two overs, the team has collected 25 runs. Although Zimbabwe will have the advantage in the home round, Ireland will have a chance if they can provide a tough target. However, due to the day-night match, it would be relatively easy to bat at night, so Zimbabwe won the toss and decided to field.

Ireland is off to a flying start, despite losing the toss and being asked by Zimbabwe to bat first. They are at 52/1 after 6 overs, with Andy Balbirnie batting at 32. Two Zimbabwean players are making their international debut today -    Brian Bennett and Trevor Gwandu. Craig Ervine is not playing as a result of injury. Ireland has a near-full strength side with the pace attack to be led by Craig Young and Josh Little with Barry McCarthy and Mark Adair to backup. Spin will be handled by George Delany, with some support from George Dockrell.

Plenty times before players changed their game for better after getting drafted to the different team, there is always chance something similar can happen here. Kohli-Du Plesis—Maxwell-Green sounds pretty lit to me.

Aside from Green, let's see if Hardik will perform to his purchase value or not.

In the IPL history many players are having this problem after tagging with huge amount they fail to produce anything good for their team which is surely having huge impact on their team as well because fans and organizers expect good results and performance as well which is never been easy now we have Hardick Pandya back in limelight with Mumbai Indians which is good, but now he is having pressure for the better result hopefully things will be gone as they wanted because currently he is at his peak and surely deserve better respect with his game.

I have feeling Hardick Pandya can bring good results for his new franchise and things can take good change with competition is going to be tougher for this IPL season after world cup performance and now BBL is also surely going to have good impact on many players price just few days and all will be open.

Zimbabwe's performance is deteriorating day by day. This is the case in Zimbabwean cricket at times. Their cricket position has started to weaken. There is a high chance of their defeat in today's match as well. In the 1st T20I, Ireland have already scored 106 for 4 in 14 overs and they must be able to collect a reliable score in the remaining 6 overs. In the Zimbabwean team, I don't find anyone like the captain Sikandar Raza. I think the cooperation of all cricket related people in that country is needed to make the team strong. They have been playing cricket for so many years but their cricket is not improving rather it is going towards deterioration.

Zimbabwe VS Ireland
Between Ireland and Zimbabwe, the series will be in T20 and ODI formats. The Ireland team toured Zimbabwe to play three T20Is and three ODIs. Today is going to be the first match of T20 series. Currently, Zimbabwe is a much stronger team than Ireland. Zimbabwe failed to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Zimbabwe unfortunately failed to qualify for the World Cup as they lost the match against Uganda. But Ireland has qualified for the 2024 T20 World Cup by showing great performance. All the matches of this series will be held at the same venue. Since the game will be at Zimbabwe's home ground, Zimbabwe will surely get a bit more support. Besides, Zimbabwe's batting and bowling lines are better than Ireland.

Zimbabwe won the toss and elected bowl first. Ireland team is not performing good and their 4 batsman are in pvalian with just 98  runs. Zimbabwe cricket team is bowling very excellent and Sikander Raza took 2 wickets by giving 21 runs in 3 overs . Sean Williams  took 1 wicket by giving 18 runs in 3 overs. Harry tector is playing very good and he is not out on 24 runs in 20 balls.Andy played good and he made 32 runs in 25 balls , Paul Stirling scored 14 runs in 10 balls and Lorcan made 21 runs in 19 balls . Match is becoming very interesting and Zimbabwe is favorite for this match and they will chase the score easily.

Two Zimbabwean players are making their international debut today -    Brian Bennett and Trevor Gwandu. Craig Ervine is not playing as a result of injury. Ireland has a near-full strength side with the pace attack to be led by Craig Young and Josh Little with Barry McCarthy and Mark Adair to backup. Spin will be handled by George Delany, with some support from George Dockrell.

Ireland is having very good and aggressive start with having 47 from 4 overs and just one down but after this performance now Zimbabwe give good reply and fight back through their captain Sikandar Raza and other bowlers which is good performance from them in this first match of the series after 18 overs now Ireland is down and lost their 8 wickets with having just 123 runs on board in last 15 balls we have just 5 runs and three wickets which is giving good advantage to Zimbabwe for winning this match and having lead in this series against Ireland.

Now Muzarabani and Ngarava both are doing last overs, hopefully things will be under their control, and they will not allow tail enders to have something hammering against them in these death overs.

Ireland set a target of 148 runs to Zimbabwe in today's match of Zimbabwe vs Ireland. The Ireland Open got off to a good start. No player could score 50 runs but even the number four batsman batted brilliantly. The next batsmen did not make good runs. Zimbabwe bowlers bowled brilliantly to restrict Ireland to just 137 runs. If the Zimbabwean openers can get off to a good start then it looks like they will be very close to victory. Now let's see how many wickets Zimbabwe need to lose to score 147 runs.

Another T20 series is coming between Ireland and Zimbabwe. I am sure that Zimbabwe can win this match and full series because Zimbabwe beat Pakistan so what is Ireland, Zimbabwe had better than better batsmen and the most favourite of all World who watch Zimbabwe's match is Sikandar Raza, and even Zimbabwe's two players played PSL, one is a bowler and the second is an all-rounder and the all-rounder name is Sikandar Raza from Lahore Qalandar's team.

He is such a great cricketer, and due to his performance he is the captain of Zimbabwe, and due to its performance he deserves a better team but sadly he had a bad team.

After Zimbabwean comeback I was not expecting this target because they have done good job and have all hitters early which helps them for keeping things under control, but last over was productive for them as they have 20 runs through 2 sixes and 4 four which allow Ireland to touch this good figure which can give them some hope for staying at their best.
Now we can expect good resistance from the Ireland even still this all is favorable for the home team, but Irish bowlers can bring their team into good position after having this target on board by their batsmen.

Zimbabwe VS Ireland

If I guess that who will emerge victory in today first match of ICC Men competition in between Ireland squad and Zimbabwe, then it is difficult to predict at this moment. Now Ireland squad has completed their batting inning and their batting inning was going to be awesome in first match. After playing all 20 overs in today, Ireland squad collected a total 147 scores as a defending target with lost of eight batters. Zimbabwe sqaud in this match won the opportunity to chose first batting inning or bowling inning, they selected bowling inning. Sikandar Raza captain of Zimbabwe squad picked up three good batters of Ireland squad first batter Andrew Balbirnie at 32 scores, next second batter Harry Tector at 24 scores and last third batter Curtis Campher was out at 8 scores. Now Zimbabwe sqaud batting inning started and let's see Zimbabwe defend target of 147 scores or not.

In 1st T20 Zimbabwe won toss and gave batting to Ireland. IRE made 147/8 in 20 overs in powerplay Ireland start their inning very well they are 42/0 in 4 overs but after with losing of wickets they took pressure Andrew Balbirnie make 32 runs and Gareth Delany made 26 on 11 balls in last 3 overs ire team made 31 runs and set a good total excellent bowling by skinder raza takes 28/3 in 4 overs while Richard Ngarava and muzarabani took 2, 2 wickets Zim need to chase the 148 in 20 overs to win 1st t20 on home.

[JSRAW]

Oh Raza why, just why?

This is turning out to be nail biting. Raza's wicket again changed the dynamic and Ireland are back in the game. He was amazing but made a couple of rookie mistakes, for starters not denying single and farming a strike. It would've been better if he had taken this to last over.

edit

Lol tailenders are doing a job for Zim  

Edit 1

Jeez, what a catch! need 2 runs in 1 ball, maybe Mankad?  

Lmao! Zim did it. Kudos to both teams and FANCODE to telecast this gem.

Zimbabwe VS Ireland,, Zimbabwe finally won by 1 wicket in 1st T20 where it was another thrilling win for Zimbabwe cause anything could be happened when just 1ball was left to score. Gareth Delany 26(11) played well from Ireland and Sikandar Raza took 3 wickets and Ireland scored 147/8. And then when it comes to Zimbabwe for bat, Sikandar Raza 65(42) again started showing bis magic performance and become the best all-round as well as man of the match. Finisher batsmans did well as they anyhow managed to take some runs otherwise result could be opposite. I assume, upcoming matches will be more interesting

[FinePoine0]

Zimbabwe's Sikander Raja has been the best performer, with the batting single handedly playing a major role in securing victory for his side. Sikandar Raja scored 65 runs from 42 balls alone, Sikandar Raja scored the most runs in this match between Ireland and Zimbabwe. reland were under wicket pressure from the start and ended up scoring 147 runs, and Zimbabwe too struggled to complete the target of 147 runs and scored 148 runs. At the end of the wicket, Zimbabwe won, Sikandar Raja's bowling also destroyed Ireland's 3-wicket deficit.

That was a very close match to win at the last ball. Also it looks like a lucky day for Zimbabwe team, because the last two runs of the final ball iss completely unexpected. An inside edge and they were able to make 2 runs to reach 148 runs. If the ball had striked the bat properly, the match could've ended in a draw. The contribution from Raza is the reason for the win and Ireland is good that they fought till the last ball. Myself expected atleast 160+ runs from Ireland as they have good batters.

Let's talk about BBL! Brisbane thrashed Melbourne yesterday, Melbourne failed in all departments (batting, bowling, fielding) while  Colin Munro remained unbeaten on 99, was bit disappointing to see him not making century.

Going to bat against the target of 148 runs given by Ireland, the Zimbabwe team was under a lot of pressure after losing two wickets for 20 runs. Raza batted brilliantly and scored 65 runs from 41 balls. No other Zimbabwean batsman could score as many runs. As we expected from Zimbabwe team maybe they will play very well and win today's match but they won by just one wicket. In comparison, Ireland played very well in today's match. Ireland's bowlers bowled brilliantly after setting Zimbabwean a target of just 148 runs. Unfortunately may not have won the match. Congratulations to the Zimbabwe team for a one-wicket win.

Ireland did not give a good target to Zimbabwe team. But with their bowling line gave a tough time to Zimbabwe team.
If we took a look on the performance of Ireland team so we will say that no one player played well even no one made fifty runs. Zimbabwe bowled really well. Sikandar Raza was shining in the match first in bowling he out three of the players of Ireland. O really Appreciate his performance.

And Secondly when Ireland gave a target of 148 runs target to Zimbabwe team. So we can see that they performed very well Especially again Sikandar Raza's performance was admirable. He is the only who go above fifty runs and made 65 runs. Good performance Zimbabwe team Congratulations on your winnings.
