The Harare pitch generally favors spinners. It has been a fortress for spinners, with the pitch offering sharp turns and variable bounce in the game's latter stages. Batting in the early stages tends to be easier, with relatively predictable bounce and fewer cracks. As the match progresses the pitch slows down & makes run scoring difficult. The Team that wins the toss will look to bat first on this pitch.
The weather in Harare isn't good at all to play cricket. The temperatures will hover around 24°C, as there is a 40% chance of rainfall on the matchday.
The Ireland Cricket team has a better chance of winning this match as they have a great T20I record against Zimbabwe in T20Is.
