Zimbabwe Women lost the last game in the T20I series by a significant margin of 65 runs. They were set a target of 177 runs for a win but were bowled out for 111 runs. They never looked like being in contention for a successful run chase. They have now lost three games in a row, and unless they pull their socks up, they are heading for a 3-0 whitewash.

Tendai Makusha was the pick of the bowlers for Zimbabwe during Ireland's innings as she picked up two wickets. The only batter that put together a decent score in the Zim chase was Kelis Ndhlovu with 46 runs from 40 balls.

Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano will lead the Zimbabwe batting charge again in this contest. She has scored 261 runs from her last ten games with an average of 29 and a strike rate of 103.16. Kelis Ndhlovu has also scored 203 runs from her last ten games with an average of 203 and a strike rate of 99.5.

IRE-W vs ZIM-W Toss Prediction

We have seen six women's T20I games played at the Pembroke Cricket Club. Four of these games have been won by the teams chasing a target. So, it might be a good idea for the skipper to field first after winning the coin flip.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

This venue is renowned for its challenging pitch, which features a noticeable bounce and carry. These conditions will be beneficial to the quicks, especially in the early stages. The wicket will slow down as the contest progresses. We are expecting cloud cover during the contest, and some showers are also likely. We might get a curtailed game of cricket.

IRE-W vs ZIM-W: Who Will Win?

It will take a brave man to bet against Ireland Women in this kind of form. The Irish skipper, Gaby Lewis, single-handedly put Zimbabwe Women out of the game by scoring a solid 87 from 50 balls. Ireland Women have a clean record against Zimbabwe and are better aware of the conditions.

None of the Zimbabwe batters appear to be consistent enough to pose a challenge to the Ireland bowling attack. So, Ireland Women are clear favorites to win this encounter and take the series 3-0.

Bet on Ireland Women to win this match.

IRE-W vs ZIM-W win percentage stands at 85% in favor of IRE-W.
