We are all set to begin now. The two teams stride out and line up for their respective national anthems. It will be Ireland's first, followed by the national anthem of Zimbabwe. Right then, we are done with the pre match proceedings. Ireland players spread out and take their respective field positions. Ben Curran and Brian Bennett walk in with their blades for Zimbabwe. Mark Adair has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

Pitch Report - There is a bit of grass and enough moisture on the surface. The pacers will get good movement early on. The pitch will get better later on to bat.

Craig Ervine, the skipper of Zimbabwe, says that they would have bowled as well. Adds that the overhead conditions look good and they will give their best. Adds that the change of format gives a different kind of intensity.

Paul Stirling, the skipper of Ireland, says that they will bowl forts. Adds that the conditions here are a bit different and they will look to adapt to it. He says that Zimbabwe is a strong team and they'll give their best.

Zimbabwe (Playing XI) - Tadiwanashe Marumani (WK), Ben Curran, Craig Ervine (C), Sikandar Raza, Wessly Madhevere, Brian Bennett, Johnathan Campbell, Wellington Masakadza, Newman Nyamhuri, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani.

Ireland (Playing XI) - Paul Stirling (C), Andy Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (WK), George Dockrell, Mark Adair, Andy McBrine, Graham Hume, Matthew Humphreys, Josh Little.

TOSS - Ireland have won the toss and will BOWL first.

So, who will come out on top in this exciting encounter? Will Zimbabwe's Chevrons rise to the challenge, or will Ireland's Paul Stirling-led team continue their winning momentum? The forecast indicates rain in parts, posing a potential threat to this game. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, allowing for a full and uninterrupted game. Toss and team news will follow shortly...

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, seeks to end its four-game losing streak. Despite facing series defeats in their last few outings, they managed to outsmart Pakistan in the first ODI match last year, courtesy of rain, and have lost an ODI series against Afghanistan as well. They will look to bounce back and come back stronger.

The visiting Irish team comes into this series with a win in the one-off Test match, thanks to impressive performances from Andy McBrine, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, and Matthew Humphreys. However, they are looking to bounce back from their ODI series loss against South Africa.

Welcome to the first ODI match between Zimbabwe and Ireland at the Harare Sports Club! Following a thrilling Test series, these two teams are set to clash in the 50-over format.

... Match Day ...

Ireland and Zimbabwe are set to clash in the 1st ODI of their 3-match series, with both teams looking to assert their dominance. Ireland will aim to build on the momentum gained from their win in the one-off Test match, while Zimbabwe seeks to bounce back and gain an early advantage in the series. Zimbabwe's squad has been bolstered by the return of their ace all-rounder Sikandar Raza, along with a few other key players, making them a more balanced and experienced unit compared to their Test team. On the other hand, Ireland boasts a formidable batting line-up featuring Harry Tector, Paul Stirling, Lorcan Tucker, and Andy Balbirnie, supported by a versatile all-rounders department and a strong bowling unit. With both teams packed with talent and eager to make a statement, this promises to be an exciting and closely contested match. Will Zimbabwe's home advantage and strengthened squad give them the edge, or will Ireland's momentum and strong team dynamics propel them to victory? We will have our answers soon.
