The 4th T20I match between Ireland and Zimbabwe will be played at the Bready Cricket Club, Bready in Northern Ireland on Thursday, September 2. I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the IRE vs ZIM 4th T20I head-to-head match for you.

Ireland bounced back in the series after losing the first game by winning the second and third game consecutively. They ruthlessly defeated Zimbabwe in the 3rd game by 40 runs. Zimbabwe were dismissed for 138 to give Ireland a convincing victory. Paul Stirling, opening the batting for the hosts, smashed a century which helped his side post 178 on the board. The bowlers also stepped in to restrict Zimbabwe from scoring and helping their side win the 4th match of the series. Zimbabwe lost early wickets in their chase as Mark Adair took three wickets alone.

The Irish batters have surprisingly been pretty impressive in the ongoing series and we have the top two Irish cricketers Paul Striling and Kevin O'Brien for you in the player market from the IRE vs ZIM match prediction.

Paul Striling To Score Over 23.5 Runs

Our first betting tip is for the star performer of the series, Paul Striling. Paul Stirling's maiden T20 International century inspired Ireland's 40-run win against Zimbabwe on wednesday. The Ireland opener hit 115 not out from a knock of 75-ball. In the process, Stirling became only the second player after Kevin O'Brien to score a hundred for Ireland in this format. With his current form and performance Stirling is the highest run scorer among batsmen this series. He has notched up 176 runs at a brilliant average of 88.00. Apart from his last encounter with Zimbabwe, Stirling has scored 37 and 24 runs in the initial two matches.

The 30-year-old batting all rounder also holds a decent record playing against the visitors. He has played 6 matches against them in the shorter format and piled 319 runs from them.

From the three innings played, O'Brien has scored a total of 94 runs which averages 31.33 which includes one half-century.

Ireland To Hit Most Match 4's

I am not done with the Irish team as yet and we have them yet again in the last bet. The Irish squad led by Andrew Balbirnie might have had a staggering start to the series but have eventually gone on to get ahead of the visitor. With a 2-1 lead in the series the hosts have made some changes to their performance with a major contribution from the Irish batters.

They have struck 18, 15 and 14 fours in the three innings which totals to 47 fours till date. This averages at 15.6 fours per match.

Quite distinctly Ireland has taken a lead in this corner and will be our favourite for the bet. The most fours hit by a batsman this series is Paul Stirling and Kevin O'Brien.
