Zimbabwe Women vs Ireland Women 4th ODI: Preview, predicted XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

In the fourth and final ODI, Zimbabwe Women will lock horns with Ireland Women at Harare Sports Club, Harare, on October 11, Monday.

Zimbabwe Women started the series on a winning note, but they completely lost the plot in the next two ODIs. Captain Mary-Anne Musonda has come up with some inspirational performances but other players couldn’t live up to the expectations.

With the series-leveling chances in line, Zimbabwe Women will give their all to make this an exciting contest. In the bowling department, Tasmeen Granger is one of the players to watch out for with her off breaks.

Meanwhile, Ireland Women would love to continue their dominance in the final ODI and take the series 3-1. Openers Gaby Lewis and Leah Paul have been in outstanding form and stopping them has been quite tough for the opposition bowlers.

Ireland leg-spinners Cara Murray and Celeste Raack have wreaked havoc over the hosts so far and will be aiming to stamp their authority in the final encounter as well.
