Zimbabwe Preview:

Zimbabwe managed only 246 runs in their 49 overs in the second ODI, with contributions from Wesley Madhevere (68) and Sikandar Raza (58). Despite solid starts, they couldn't build on their middle-order partnerships.

ZIM vs IRE Pitch Report:

The Harare pitch is on the slower side due to its used nature. Batting will be tricky, and any score above 270 will be challenging to chase, giving the bowlers the upper hand. Teams will prefer to chase after winning the toss.

ZIM vs IRE Winning Prediction by Reddy Anna:

Ireland showed their class with both bat and ball in the second ODI and are likely to continue their winning run. Zimbabwe’s batting struggles and lack of consistency in their bowling attack might hold them back. Ireland looks more balanced and well-equipped to win this decider.

Prediction: Ireland will win the match.
