Preview:
Zimbabwe Women will be up against Ireland Women in the 1st of the 4-match ODI series on Tuesday. Zimbabwe Women recently hosted Thailand Women in a 4-match unofficial ODI series in August and drew the series 2-2. They were outplayed in the T20I series by a 1-2 margin. They will be hopeful of taking an early lead in the series.
Ireland Women, on the other hand, are playing an ODI game after a long gap of 3 years. The last time they featured in an ODI series was back in 2018 June against New Zealand Women, where they lost the series 3-0. However, they are playing T20Is consistently, which will definitely help them in this series.
