Preview

Zimbabwe (ZIM) and Ireland (IRE) will play each other in the first ODI of the three-match series. The game will be will be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on February 14, at 1:00 PM (IST). It will be a crucial game for both teams to start with a win in the series.

Zimbabwe have been through a miserable run of form in their last five ODIs, facing four defeats, alongside a no-result game. They are coming off an 8-wicket defeat against Afghanistan last year in December. They will aim to win this game and end their losing streak in the ODIs.

On the other hand, Ireland are coming off a 2-1 defeat against South Africa in the three-match ODI series. However, they won their previous ODI match by 69 runs against South Africa. Paul Stirling’s men have won only one game while losing three, alongside an ‘abandoned’ game in their last five games.
