Zimbabwe and Ireland will square off against each other in the 4th group stage match of the ongoing 2022 T20 World Cup, tomorrow at Tasmania’s Blundstone Arena. The match will start at 1:30 PM IST and it will be the first match for both teams in this edition of the tournament.
Let us first talk about Zimbabwe. They have lost all of their last two series against India and Australia respectively. Before that, they had won their ODI series against Bangladesh and even in the recently played practice match against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe suffered a defeat. They thus have very little to be optimistic about in this tournament.
Ireland’s form has been much better comparatively. They won their recent 5-match T20I series against a tough Afghanistan side and that is their biggest motivation coming into the World Cup.
Let us now take a look at all the necessary details related to the Zimbabwe vs Ireland match.

Zimbabwe vs Ireland: Match Prediction
Zimbabwe has a better squad than Ireland overall, but we just can not deny the fact that Ireland has been in better form lately and their momentum coming into the tournament is far better than that of Zimbabwe. That itself is enough for us to predict that Ireland will probably win this match against Zimbabwe tomorrow.
