IRE vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction, Zimbabwe Tour of Ireland, 2021, 1st ODI: Ireland vs Zimbabwe, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report, Player Records/Stats, Injury and Match Updates.

The 1st ODI match between Ireland and Zimbabwe will be played on 8th September at the Civil Service Cricket Club on Wednesday, September 8.
Zimbabwe has registered a convincing victory in the fifth and final T20I in Northern Island to finish the five-match series with two victories. The series ended 3-2 with Ireland having already clinched it before the final game.
However, the victory in the final T20I would have provided Zimbabwe much-needed confidence ahead of the ODI series. They are currently at the 13th spot in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League standings with 10 points in their account.
Zimbabwe has a solitary win from their last six matches played so far, hence this series will be a good opportunity to grab as many points as possible. Ireland, on the other hand, will be aiming to better that record in this ODI series.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for 1st ODI of the Zimbabwe Tour of Ireland, 2021.
