Ireland Women (IRE-W) and Zimbabwe Women (ZIM-W) are set to continue their ongoing T20I series by facing off in the third T20I. Both sides will lock horns at the Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin on Wednesday, July 23. The home team has already clinched the series after winning the last two T20Is of the series quite convincingly and now eyes a 3-0 whitewash.

In the first T20I, the Irish team restricted the opposition to 117 runs and later chased down the target with six wickets and 19 balls to spare. In the previous match, the hosts once again continued their dominance and clinched a 65-run win after being asked to bat first. With the series already won by the home team, the next clash will be a dead rubber.

The youngster will be hoping to put on yet another great show with the bat and help her team whitewash the series.
