Fantasy Tips of The Day
For the second T20I, Harry Tector and Ross Adair were the captain and vice-captain of the Ultimate Team respectively.
From Zimbabwe, only Ryan Burl and Sean Williams have featured in the Ultimate in both matches.
Although Craig Ervine averages only 15 at the Harare Sports Club, he has an impressive record against Ireland. In 7 innings, he has accumulated 283 runs at a staggering average of 57.
Ervine and Williams are also the top two run-getters ever in the format against Ireland. While Ervine has collected 338 runs at 43, Williams has added 173 runs at 43.
Only once has Mark Adair gone wicketless against Zimbabwe. He has bagged 19 wickets, including the best figures of 4 for 23 in 8 games.
It has not been an easy time out there for the batters. Only one batter has registered a half-century in the first two games. The second-highest score is 42.
10 batters (top and middle-order) have been dismissed for a single-digit figure in this series.
