Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Top Batters

Gaby Lewis to be Ireland Women’s top batter

Gaby Lewis is arguably the best batter to feature in the series among both teams. She was class apart in the T20I series,scoring 154 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 155.55 with the best score of 87.She will once again open the innings for Ireland Women and can be expected to score at least a half-century, if not a big century. Lewis will be Ireland Women’s top batter in the first ODI.

Chipo Mugeri Tiripano to be Zimbabwe Women's top batter

If it is Gaby Lewis for Ireland, for Zimbabwe, the onus will be on their captain Chipo Mugeri Tiripano to score runs.She was the leading run-scorer for the visitors in the T20I series, mustering 92 runs at an average of 30.66.She will mostly bat in the top four for Zimbabwe and can be expected to become the top batter for the team in the first ODI that will be played on Saturday (July 26) in Belfast.

Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Top Bowlers

Cara Murray to be Ireland Women’s top bowler

Zimbabwe struggled to face quality spin of Cara Murray right through the T20I series.She picked up seven wickets in three matches at an average of only 7.42, conceding only 52 runs in 10 overs.Her spell will be crucial once again for Ireland if they are to dominate the opposition yet again. Murray is once again expected to become the top bowler for Ireland Women.

Nomvelo Sibanda to be Zimbabwe Women's top bowler

Nomvelo Sibanda played only one T20I out of three matches in the preceding series. But when it comes to ODIs, she is joint-second highest wicket-taker for Zimbabwe,having picked 16 wickets in 17 matches so far at an average of 28.62 and an economy rate of 4.16.She will be key for Zimbabwe if they are to put Ireland in a spot of bother with the bat.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Ireland Women

Ireland Women were too good for Zimbabwe in the three-match T20I series. The ODI series will give a chance to make a comeback for the visitors. But it seems unlikely that the hosts would give them any room given the way they dominated in T20Is. Ireland Women are heavy favourites to win the first ODI of the two-match series.

• Ireland Women to win - 1.05 (Parimatch)
