ZIM vs. IRE 1st T20 Live Streaming: On Thursday, December 7, in Harare, the men’s cricket team from Ireland will face off against Zimbabwe in the opening match of their three-match T20I bilateral series. Ireland is visiting Africa for a bilateral series for the second time.
Following their failure to make it to the 2024 T20 World Cup through the African qualifiers, Zimbabwe will play in the series. Namibia and Uganda are the only two African teams that have advanced to the international championship. Zimbabwe was unable to qualify for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, so they were not present at the event, which ended recently.
Sikandar Raza, the captain of Zimbabwe, is eager for their Twenty20 series against Ireland, though. Wessly Madhevere, Craig Ervine, and Sean Williams could be important players in the series.
In the meantime, Ireland’s best batsman Paul Stirling will take the team’s captaincy in white-ball cricket following Andrew Balbirnie’s resignation.
There have been eleven T20I encounters between Zimbabwe and Ireland in the past. Zimbabwe has won five of the games, while Ireland has won six.
