IRE vs ZIM, Head-To-Head Stats [Source: @@ICC, @@Merovaeous/x.com]
The most-exciting ODI series between Ireland (IRE) and Zimbabwe (ZIM) is set to begin on Friday, February 14th, 2025 at the Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe. The first match of the three-match ODI series will kick off at 1:00 PM IST.
Ireland has a well settled unit which has been winning matches together for some time. They have a good momentum on their side with a win in the one-off Test. Ireland started their tour in superb fashion winning the one-off test match, their cricket has been on the rise and their recent win over full member nation South Africa should give them mighty confidence going ahead.
Zimbabwe lost their recent ODI series against Afghanistan 2-0 before this series and the only Test match against Ireland, but they have an experienced batting lineup and home conditions to their ally in their match. They have a good pace attack with the services of Sean Williams and Sikander Raza in the spin department.
Zimbabwe will hope to put their disappointing Test match defeat behind them here, but they face an Ireland side full of confidence and more than likely stuff on cloud nine after their red-ball win. Momentum is a powerful factor in bilateral cricket with the short turnaround, and it would be no surprise to see Ireland transfer their Test success into this ODI.
So ahead of the first ODI, in this article, let's take a look at the head-to-head record between both the teams.
