Mark Adair and Josh Little also return to the hosts’ XI, with the visitors remaining unchanged
Zimbabwe choose to bowl vs Ireland
Ireland rung in the changes for the third T20I against Zimbabwe, with three tweaks to the XI that levelled the series on Sunday.
Despite their seven-wicket defeat in the second match, Zimbabwe have stuck with with same XI which they used for the first two matches. That leaves no room for the experience of Brendan Taylor, but aims to build consistency in a young group.
Both captains were keen for their bowlers to make use first of the pitch under cloudy skies in Bready. It is expected to be a slightly quicker surface that the one in Clontarf, where run-scoring was laboured in the first match.
Ireland: 1 Paul Stirling, 2 Kevin O’Brien, 3 Andy Balbirnie (capt), 4 William McClintock, 5 George Dockrell, 6 Neil Rock (wk), 7 Shaun Getkate, 8 Simi Singh, 9 Mark Adair, 10 Josh Little, 11 Ben White
Zimbabwe: 1 Wessley Madhevere, 2 Tadiwanashe Marumani, 3 Regis Chakabva (wk), 4 Dion Myers, 5 Craig Ervine (capt), 6 Milton Shumba, 7 Ryan Burl, 8 Luke Jongwe, 9 Wellington Masakadza, 10 Tendai Chatara, 11 Richard Ngarava
