The second T20I between Ireland and Zimbabwe will take place at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin, on 29 August. The two teams met a day before at the same venue, where Zimbabwe beat Ireland by three runs to take the 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Team News
Zimbabwe will make at least two changes. They will recall Sikandar Raza for Dion Myers to strengthen their batting unit, while Blessing Muzarabani will return to the lineup for Richard Ngarava. Tadiwanashe Marumani, who scored just a 10-ball 1 at the top, may be given another go.
Ireland will definitely bring in Josh Little to add stability in their bowling unit. He may replace Benjamin White, though the latter returned 0-18 in his four overs in the first match.
Fantasy Tips
– Paul Stirling, Simi Singh, Ryan Burl. and Sikandar Raza can be handy with both bat and ball. Include all of them in the fantasy XI.
– Regis Chakabva struck 47 in 28 balls in the last game. Back him again.
– Do not ignore Luke Jongwe. He was excellent in the first encounter, returning 2-17.
