THE PREDICTION
These two teams are fairly well-matched and an entertaining series looks on the cards. However, Zimbabwe have significantly strengthened their batting line-up with the addition of former England international Gary Balance to their squad. He boosts a Zimbabwean side with plenty of experience behind it. Ireland meanwhile, are without key players Josh Little and Paul Stirling due to franchise T20 commitments. Also throw in the fact that Zimbabwe have home field advantage and you would expect them to have too much for Ireland in this first T20i.
