Ireland Women (IRE-W) and Zimbabwe Women (ZIM-W) are all set to lock horns in the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday, July 20, at the Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin. The tourists are on a white ball tour and will be playing a two-match ODI series after the T20Is.
The hosts last featured in a T20I series back in December 2024 against Bangladesh and registered a solid 0-3 whitewash. After that, the team has been busy with 50-over assignments and recently participated in the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier, 2025
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe was on a white-ball tour to the USA. After drawing the ODI series, the visitors went on to topple the Americans in the shorter format with a 1-2 series win. The Zimbabwe team will be looking forward to the series and hopes to give Ireland a tough time at home.

Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Gaby Lewis
Irish skipper Gaby Lewis could be the best batter in the upcoming first T20I against Zimbabwe women. The 24-year-old recently scored 221 runs in five games of the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier, 2025. While that tournament was played in the 50-over format, Lewis will look to carry the same form in the shorter format.
Probable Best Bowler: Beloved Biza
Zimbabwe's Beloved Biza could play a crucial role with the ball for the visitors. The youngster recently picked up five wickets in the three-match series between Zimbabwe and the USA. She also featured in the Zimbabwe Women's Regional T20 Tournament 2025 at Harare earlier this month and will look forward to performing in the upcoming series.
