In this article we will be analyzing the Zimbabwe Women vs Ireland Women Match Prediction. Ireland have made the trip to Zimbabwe to play three ODIs and five T20Is. The first ODI is scheduled to be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Thursday, January 18.
Zimbabwean players will be raring to go after they won the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Africa Region Qualifier 2023 last month. They defeated Namibia in the semifinals before getting past hosts Uganda in the summit clash.
Ireland, on the other hand, played their last series against Scotland in October. They won the ODI series 2-1 after losing the first match. The two-match T20I series ended 1-1. In July 2023, Australia visited Ireland to play three ODIs against the European nation. The series turned out to be a one-sided affair as was anticipated, but the Irish players got an opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the finest players in women’s cricket. They would love to use that experience and get the better of a buoyant Zimbabwean side.

Probable Best Performers from Zim-W vs IRE-W
Probable Best Batter: Amy Hunter
The talented teenager will have fond memories of playing at the Harare Sports Club. The last time Ireland toured Zimbabwe in 2021, she became the youngest cricketer, male or female, to score a century in a One Day International. Hunter has shown commendable consistency in recent times and will look to continue the good work.
Probable Best Bowler: Precious Marange
The 41-year-old right-arm pacer was in scintillating form in the qualifiers. She finished as the leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets from five matches, at a mind-boggling average of 3.92. In the finals, she picked up a five-for. Marange’s spell with the new ball is going to be very crucial as she has the ability to give her side some early inroads.
