Team Previews
Ireland Women Preview
Ireland Women continue to dominate with a strong, well-balanced side. Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter form a dynamic opening duo—Hunter’s match-winning performance in the last match underlines her current form. The middle order, led by Orla Prendergast, Laura Delany, and Leah Paul, provides stability and aggression.
The bowlers were highly effective in the opening encounter. Jane Maguire and Arlene Kelly exploited early movement, while Lara McBride and Cara Murray choked runs in the middle overs. Their experience in home conditions makes them a tough side to beat.
If Ireland maintains their discipline with both bat and ball, they are well-positioned to close out the series 2-0.
Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe Women have a lot to fix after a disappointing show in the first T20. Their batters failed to build partnerships, and none crossed 30 runs. Captain Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano needs to lead from the front. Modester Mupachikwa and Kelis Ndhlovu must give them a strong start.
Their bowling unit, including Tendai Makusha and Kudzai Chigora, needs early breakthroughs. Supporting bowlers like Chipare and Mabhero must contain runs to remain competitive.
Zimbabwe Women have not won in eight attempts against Ireland in T20s. They need an all-round effort to reverse their fortunes in this must-win encounter.

Favorite Team Today – Ireland Women
Ireland Women go into this contest as favorites. With superior team balance, home advantage, and consistent recent performances—including five wins in their last five games—they have all bases covered. Zimbabwe Women, on the other hand, haven’t defeated Ireland in T20Is and showed little spark in the first game. Unless their batting unit performs drastically better, the hosts should clinch the match and the series.
