ZIM vs IRE outfield report

Harare Sports Club

Given the nature of the ground and pitch, the winning team will attempt to win the toss and bowl first. The ground isn’t known for creating high-scoring grounds, and with so many matches previously played there, that’s unlikely to change. Chasing will be far easier than batting first.

The weather prediction appears to be rather cloudy, with a 65% chance of rain. The highest and minimum temperatures will be between 28°C and 18°C.

The pitch is not recognized for being a high-scoring ground, and teams normally prefer to win the toss and bowl first, knowing what to chase in the second innings.
