Zimbabwe vs Ireland 3rd ODI Match Preview
The third ODI is perfectly poised to be an exciting encounter. The teams have several players who play across different T20 leagues and hence, to win this match, they should bring their T20 expertise into use. Ireland failed to chase 300 to win the first ODI. This is something that will be on the mind of the Zimbabwe batters. They would like to put a big score on the board if they get to bat first.
Ireland should ideally look to replicate the things that they did right in the second ODI. They restricted the opposition to a par score and managed to chase it down successfully. The batting has the firepower to even chase a big score if required.
