Ireland Women and Zimbabwe Women will lock horns with each other in the first T20I of a three-match series on July 20, Sunday. The match will be played at the Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin. After the T20Is, both teams will also play a two-match ODI series as part of Zimbabwe’s white-ball tour of Ireland.
Ireland last played a T20I series in December 2024 against Bangladesh, where they won 0-3.Â
On the other hand, Zimbabwe were recently in the USA for a white-ball series. They won the T20I series 2-1. They will now look to carry that momentum into the games against Ireland.

Ireland Women vs Zimbabwe Women Pitch Report: Pembroke Cricket Club, Dublin
The pitch at Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin is generally decent for batting but it has not always produced high scores. Matches here often end up being low-scoring as bowlers, especially pacers, get some help early on. Chasing has worked better at this ground. Out of six T20Is played here so far, teams batting second have won four times. Because of that, both sides will likely prefer to bowl first if they win the toss.
