Zimbabwe vs Ireland, 4th T20I – Key Players

Zimbabwe

1. Chiyedza Dhururu: The 28-year-old wicket-keeper batter has accumulated 212 runs from 16 T20I outings including the best score of 44. Dhururu produced a good knock early in the series. Her role is very crucial for Zimbabwe and she hopes to capitalize on the opportunity. 
2. Nomvelo Sibanda: The 27-year-old left-arm pacer, has taken 45 wickets averaging 13.33 and maintaining an economy rate of 4.83 from 40 T20I appearances including the best figures of 5/14. Following a couple of decent T20I outings, Nomvelo claimed figures of 1/23 in the third game and will be counted on to carry forward this momentum.

Ireland 

1. Arlene Kelly: The all-rounder has bagged 40 wickets from 30 outings including best figures of 5/12. She has a good record with the bat as well and can contribute crucial runs. Arlene was excellent in the ODIs, although she went wicketless in her last three T20Is. But she’s been economical and can be relied upon for the goods.
2. Cara Murray: The 23-year-old leg-spinner has claimed 27 wickets from 39 matches at an economy rate of 6.88 with the best figure of 3/9. Continuing her outstanding ODI form, Murray has been consistent with the bowl in the T20Is. She will look to carry forward this form.
