Under-strength Zimbabwe and debutants Ireland may look like a lightweight contest in a Group D clash. But both teams need a win tomorrow if they are to have any hope of progressing in the tournament. “If we can turn up, and bring our A-game, especially against Zimbabwe, we think we have a chance there to win,” said Ireland’s Australian-born captain Trent Johnson. “We are entering this match with a lot of confidence. We know we have a very tough group, but we have our plans in place.”Zimbabwe’s captain Prosper Utseya says it will be a little difficult planning for Ireland, since information was not available. “We have been seeking information about them, but we feel no pressure because we have nothing to lose,” he said.
