ZIM vs IRE 1st ODI Dream11 Team Top Captain & Vice Captain Choices
1. C Ervine- Zimbabwe skipper Craig Ervine has been in great form in limited-overs cricket, especially in the 50-over format. He scored a crucial half-century in his last game. He can earn you some fantasy points, and you can make him the vice-captain of your fantasy team.
2. C Campher- Curtis Campher has scored only 238 runs in 10 games, but he has the ability to turn the game in an instant. He was the first Ireland bowler to take a hat-trick in a T20I match and also took four wickets in four balls in a T20I. He is a key player to watch out for.
3. A McBrine – The versatile all-rounder from Ireland bats left-handed and bowls right-arm off-spin, often playing a key role in both areas. He is in good form in recent matches and is also a player to watch out for.
