Preview: 

Ireland: 

Lot will depend on their experienced batter Paul Stirling who has been in fine touch. The 32-year-old has amassed 3011 runs in 113 innings and played at a strike rate of 134.84, including one century in the format. He will be opening the batting line up for Ireland alongside skipper Andy Balbirnie. Both the batters have huge potential and ability to smash the best bowlers in the world. George Dockrell should be included in the fantasy squad for his capability to finish the innings. Curtis Campher should be considered for his all-round performance lately, while Josh Little, Graham Hume and Barry McCarthy will lead the pace attack. 

 

Zimbabwe: 

Sikandar Raza is one of the prolific allrounder from the side who was also named Player of the Tournament in the Qualifier. The 36-year-old has a staggering strike rate of 152.21 in the shortest format which makes him strong contender to be part of the fantasy squad. Zimbabwe skipper Craig Ervine is returning from a hamstring injury and will be keen to make valuable contribution to the side's World Cup campaign. Bowlers like Tendai Chatara, Wellington Masakadza, and Blessing Muzarabani will be key for Zimbabwe in the ICC tournament.
