Match Preview
Zimbabwe enters this contest as the group’s “dark horse,” sitting in second place with four points after stunning victories over Oman and Australia. Their confidence is sky-high, driven by Brian Bennett’s explosive form and the veteran leadership of Sikandar Raza.
In contrast, Ireland has endured a nightmare start, suffering heavy defeats to Australia and Sri Lanka. While they managed to brush aside Oman recently, their negative net run rate makes this match a desperate last stand to keep their Super 8 dreams alive.
