The Ireland women's cricket team toured Zimbabwe in January and February 2024 to play the Zimbabwe women's cricket team. [1] The tour consisted of three One Day International (ODI) and five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. [2] The T20I matches formed part of both teams' preparations for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier. [3]
Ireland comfortably won the rain-affected first ODI by 10 wickets. [4] The second match ended in a rain-affected tie. [5] Ireland won the third game by 81 runs, [6] and therefore won the ODI series 2–0. [7] [8]
The tourists won the first T20I by 57 runs. [9] During the match, Amy Hunter became the first Irish woman, and the third Irish cricketer (men or women), to score a century in both T20Is and ODIs. [10] [11] Ireland also won the next two matches of the series to take an unassailable lead in the T20I series. [12] [13] Ireland won the rain-curtailed fourth match by 9 wickets. [14] The tourists went on to win the fifth game by 14 runs, [15] and therefore swept the T20I series 5-0. [16]
