Ireland and Zimbabwe will cross swords to play the second of the three One-Day Internationals of the series, which is scheduled to be hosted at Civil Service Cricket Ground in Belfast on September 10, Friday. I have managed to accumulate three of the best betting tips from the IRE vs ZIM 2nd head-to-head ODI match.

The hosts were oozing with confidence as they clinched the five-match T20I series against the visiting side 3-2.
