The 4th match of Round 1 qualifying for the T20 World Cup 2022 will have Zimbabwe taking on Ireland at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. There is little to choose between the two teams on the field, as both have talented players. The Group B match between Zimbabwe and Ireland on October 17 will be the fourth match of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022.

Zimbabwe has shown much promise recently, including a historic ODI win in Australia. Craig Ervine’s team is a tough opponent when they’re playing well. Several players have stepped up in big moments in the past. Even though they lost the warm-up game against Sri Lanka, they played well enough to make this one close.

On the other hand, Ireland’s team is pretty stable, and its young players have been doing well late. Even though their warm-up game was a close loss to Namibia, they are optimistic about their chances against Zimbabwe.

Environment and Climate

At Bellerive Oval, the pitch is favorable for hitters. Batter success is enhanced by the ball’s direct path to the bat. After the first few over’s, the rise will likely flatten, making it difficult for seamers to get any traction. On the day of the game, Hobart is forecast to have some light rain and drizzle. Therefore, the game may be shortened.

Location Specifics

At Bellerive Oval in Hobart, a typical first-inning score is 182. Australia holds the record with a score of 213-4. To win this match, the team batting first must score 180 runs.

For the Bowl

With rain in the forecast on the day of the match, the team that wins the toss will likely choose to bat second, giving the advantage to the other team.

However, chasers have historically struggled on the Hobart pitch because of its slower pace. The captain who wins the toss will probably want to bat first because the boundaries are so large and there is so little dew.
