Between January 12 and January 23, Ireland will travel to Zimbabwe for a limited-overs series that will include three Twenty20 Internationals and as many Day Internationals. With a long-term eye on both Ireland’s participation in the 50-over World Cup in the coming year and the Twenty20 World Cup in 2024, this will be an excellent opportunity for both teams to demonstrate their strength.
After putting on impressive performances at this year’s T20 World Cup Down Under, both teams will be brimming with confidence going into this bilateral series. Zimbabwe and Ireland both advanced past the group stages to secure a well-deserved spot in the Super 12. Despite the fact that these two teams did not advance to the semifinals, they did end up somewhat spoiling the party.
While Zimbabwe beat eventual champion Pakistan by one run, Ireland beat eventual champion England by five runs using the DLS method. As a result, both teams should give each other a chance in the upcoming series. In the meantime, Ireland’s automatic qualification for the 2023 World Cup hinges on the outcome of the upcoming three-match ODI series.
Irish are competing against four other teams in a tug-of-war to win the eighth and final qualification spot. With time running out, Ireland must win the ODI series at any cost and hope that other results will also work in their favor. They are currently ranked 10th in the 13-team table.
