Zimbabwe will take on Ireland in the first ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday (December 13) at the Harare Sports Club. Ireland won the three-match T20I series by 2-1 after defeating the hosts in the last two matches. The first match was abandoned due to rain.
Zimbabwe have made a lot of changes to the squad. Skipper Craig Ervine was ruled out of the series due to injury. Sikandar Raza has been appointed the captain of the side in Ervine's absence. Raza has previously captained Zimbabwe in three ODIs. Sean Williams and Brad Evans were also ruled out due to injuries. A total of seven new players have been picked in the squad, including Faraz Akram. Akram has played four T20Is for Zimbabwe but is yet to make his ODI debut.
Ireland have made three changes to their side. Ross Adair and Gareth Delany, who were a part of the T20I series, have been omitted from the ODI squad. Andy McBrine has been included in the squad. McBrine was also a part of the ODI squad, which toured England in September this year.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Wellington Masakadza
ZIM | BOWL
He has not been in the best of form this year in this format. Masakadza has managed just a single wicket in his last five outings and can be left out of fantasy teams.
Ryan Burl
ZIM | ALL
He was dismissed for a duck in the first game and has scored more than 20 runs only once in his last four ODI innings. Burl can be avoided in fantasy teams for this match.
