With the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Global Qualifier set to take place in United Arab Emirates in the first half of the year in mind, Zimbabwe Women and Ireland Women are set to compete in a bi-lateral series comprising of three (3) Women’s ODI matches and five (5) T20 International matches from January 18th – February 02nd, 2024. The previous tour made by Ireland Women to the African nation was during October 2021 in an ODI series, which Ireland Women won 3-1.
The ODI matches are equally important for both the countries, with Ireland Women trying to be in top 6 in the IWC competition to get a direct entry for 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup and in an event that they don’t, will see them play the Global Qualifier. Zimbabwe Women also are looking to finish in top 2 of the six (6) Women’s teams given ODI status by ICC and qualify for the Global Qualifiers, and need as many points as possible from the three (3) games on hand.
