We're just getting started with the biggest global competition of T20 cricket, and it's now time for Match 4 which involves Ireland and Zimbabwe - both being a part of Group B. Since only two teams from one group can progress further and West Indies, the two-time champions, are also a part of Group B, we can consider this game a must-win for both Ireland and Zimbabwe as it will propel their chances. The Irish team got knocked out in the first round of the previous edition and that in a way was a big surprise. They would like to redeem themselves, and their recent form has been very promising. Although they didn't get the wins over big teams like India and New Zealand in their most recent series, they certainly scared them on a few occasions. Batting is going to be their biggest strength, with the mainstays like Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie around, and now the emergence of stars like Harry Tector and George Dockrell, the batter, has added another dimension to their game. Their bowling can be counted as the weak link but with Mark Adair and Josh Little in the mix, you can expect them to fare decently. On the other hand, Zimbabwe are returning to ICC T20
