Zimbabwe will be facing Ireland in a one-off test match at Bulawayo, looking to secure a home win that eluded them in the Afghanistan series. Ireland on the other hand last played a test back in mid-2024 and it was against the same opponents. On that occasion, they did manage a win, and they will try and replicate the performance. Bulawayo has often been a batting paradise but the last game that was played here against Afghanistan, it did offer something to the bowlers particularly the pacers. Toss will play a key role in this tie. Zimbabwe Captain Craig Ervine Lauds Afghanistan Following Defeat in Second Test, Says ‘They Played Much Better’.

Zimbabwe will be without the services of star all-rounder Sikandar Raza as he features in the ILT20. Dion Mayers and Tadiwanashe Marumani have been left out of the squad with Nicholas Welch hoping to break into the playing eleven. All eyes will be on Blessing Muzarabani, who picked up six wickets recently against Afghanistan.

Skipper Andy Balbirnie will need to be at his very best with the bat while star batsman Harry Tector will shoulder the run scoring responsibility in the middle-order. Craig Young should get the nod ahead of Gavin Hoey in the team. Matthew Humphreys and Barry McCarthy will be the other key players in the bowling unit.
