Welcome to our preview of the match between ZIM vs WI for ICC World Cup Qualifiers. The Super Sixes match 5 will be played on 19th March, and we are here with our team news, Probable XIs, and Dream11 Team Predictions.
With Zimbabwe placed on top of the points table, and West Indies tasting a defeat for the first time in their last match, the match happening next between them becomes much more important than it already is. With a lot riding on the big names, and the dreams of World Cup, both the team will clash in Harare.
West Indies lost to Afghanistan in their last match by 3 Wickets. With Shai Hope’s 43 and Marlon San Samuels’ 36, West Indies scored 197. Which was always doable for Afghanistan. Jason Holder was once again exceptional with the ball, but even after bowling 10 overs and taking 3 wickets, he could not stop Afghanistan, as the target was achieved losing 7 wickets.
Zimbabwe against Ireland, in the last match apart from Sikandar Raza’s 69, the other highest score was 25. They were only able to put 211 on the board, and nobody fancied their chances at the halfway mark. Then Tendai Chisoro and Graeme Cremer came, and wreaked havoc. Between their 15.2 overs they took 6 wickets in total to uproot Ireland on just 104, inside 35 overs.
