Zimbabwe vs Ireland 2022-23: Full Squads, schedule, Where to Watch on TV, online, live streaming details - All you need to know
Zimbabwe are already out (direct qualifications) of the next year's World Cup race as they are placed 12th in the 13-team table.
Ireland will be visiting Zimbabwe for a limited-overs series comprising three T20Is and as many One Day Internationals between January 12 to 23. This will be a great opportunity for both sides to prove their mettle with a long -term view on the next year’s 50-overs World Cup (for Ireland) as well as the T20 World Cup 2024.
Both teams will be oozing with confidence heading into this bilateral series having showcased impressive performances in this year’s T20 World Cup Down Under. Ireland and Zimbabwe both succeeded in getting past the group stages to earn a well-deserved spot in Super 12.
These two teams might not have made it to the semis, but they did turn out to be party spoilers to an extent. While Zimbabwe defeated the eventual finalists Pakistan with a one-run win, Ireland stunned the eventual champions England by five runs via DLS method and therefore, both sides would be expected to give each other a run for their money in the upcoming series.
Meanwhile, the upcoming three-match ODI series will be a very important one for Ireland as their 2023 World Cup automatic qualification slot hangs in the balance. Irish are currently playing a tug-of-war with four other teams to determine the eighth and final qualification slot. They currently occupy the 10th position in the 13-team table and with time running out, Ireland have no other choice but to bag the ODI series at any cost and hope for other results to work in their favour as well.
Zimbabwe on the other hand are already out of the World Cup 2023 automatic qualification race as they find themselves placed at the 12th position. Even though the African nation will have to wait another day for taking part in the quadrennial event, they can spoil Ireland’s chances by beating the visitors in the three One Dayers.
