Pre-Match Report: World Cup debutants Ireland will take on an under-strength Zimbabwe in a Group D encounter at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Thursday.
Both the teams need a win if they are to have any hope of progressing in the tournament.Zimbabwe enter the World Cup in a state of crisis having been stripped of their Test status following a series of bitter wrangles inside Zimbabwe cricket which has seen the squad stripped of virtually all its senior players. The last time Zimbabwe played Ireland was in a two-match limited-overs series four years ago (not official ODIs), which was split between the two sides. Ireland won the first match by 10 wickets in Belfast, and Zimbabwe rebounded to take honours two days later by eight wickets at Eglinton. Ireland Team: DT Johnston, WK McCallan, AC Botha, JP Bray, D Langford-Smith, EJG Morgan, KJ O'Brien, NJ O'Brien, WTS Porterfield, WB Rankin, AR White.
Zimbabwe Team: P Utseya, GB Brent, CJ Chibhabha, E Chigumbura, T Duffin, S Matsikenyeri, CB Mpofu, EC Rainsford, V Sibanda, BRM Taylor, SC Williams.
