Match Preview
Ireland Women have been dominated so far in the tour, winning the T20 series 3-0. They’ve been solid in all departments, whether it’s their bowling, batting, or fielding. The likes of Gaby Lewis and Orla Prendergast performed well in the T20 series and will be looking to continue their form in this format. However, they’ve lost their last three ODI series, although they had won 3 consecutive ODI series before that, including one against Zimbabwe back in 2023.
Their record in ODIs at this venue is also average, having lost 4 of their 7 games. But given Zimbabwe’s form, they are expected to correct that record in the upcoming games. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe has in-form players like Kelis Ndhlovu and Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, who will be looking to make things tough for the hosts with their collective performances. Zimbabwe Women have a mixed record in their last 4 ODIs, winning two and losing two.
