ZIM vs USA Match Prediction
Zimbabwe (ZIM) is set to clash with the United States of America (USA) in the highly anticipated 17th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023. This exciting encounter will take place at the prestigious Harare Sports Club in Harare on June 26. With a flawless record, Zimbabwe has emerged victorious in all three of their previous games, establishing themselves as the dominant force in Group A. Conversely, the USA has struggled, losing all three matches and finding themselves languishing at the bottom of the Group A standings.
In their most recent showdown against the West Indies, Zimbabwe displayed their prowess. The West Indies won the toss and elected to field, but Zimbabwe’s opening partnership set the tone for an impressive performance. Sustaining the momentum, their middle-order batsmen formed valuable partnerships, contributing to a commendable total of 268 runs. While the West Indies demonstrated resilience with a few partnerships of their own, they ultimately faltered and were bowled out for 233 runs, resulting in a resounding 35-run victory for Zimbabwe.
On the other hand, the USA encountered the Netherlands in their previous match. After losing the toss and being put in to bat, the USA experienced a faltering start with their top-order batsmen struggling. However, their middle-order rose to the occasion, salvaging the innings. The lower-order batsmen provided the much-needed finishing touch, propelling the USA to a respectable total of 211 runs. Despite the Netherlands’ early setbacks, they navigated their way through the innings with calculated partnerships, ultimately securing a comfortable five-wicket victory.
