Zimbabwe vs Ireland 2024

After the commencement of the T20 World Cup, the long form of the sport is back into action with Zimbabwe touring Ireland for a single test match at the end of July. Zimbabwe vs Ireland in a one test only series will be interesting to witness given the test history of both the teams where neither of them have stood out on any occasion to recount and has been on the losing side of the game for majority of their test games. Talking about Zimbabwe, it gained the test status back in 1992 and played its first test match against India in the same year itself. Ever since then it has been a part of 117 games where it emerged victorious on just 13 occasions. Such has been the misery of the team that it lost as many as 75 matches, that is a big share of its total matches played. The last time the team played a test was in 2023 against the West Indies where the opponent team won the 2 match test series by 1-0.

On the other hand is Ireland, a fresh team into the longest format of the game who have just got the test status in 2018, and played its first match against Pakistan in the same year. Being a part of just 8 test matches, Ireland won just 1 out of them and lost 7 against its opponents. The last test played by Ireland was against Afghanistan in 2024 where Ireland defeated them by 6 wickets and registered their first win in test format.

Now with the forthcoming ZIM vs IRE test match, both the teams will look forward to registering a win in their weak win tally in tests and that makes the test worth watching for all the cricket fans. For more updates and information on the ZIM vs IRE cricket match, you can follow Cricket Addictor.
