Ireland will host Zimbabwe for a one-off Test match, scheduled to be played from July 25 to 29 at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast. This will be the first-ever red-ball contest between the two n⛎ations.
Ireland enter the match buoyed by their six-wicket victory over Afghanistan in their last Test, a🦩 solid performance across all departments. They will look t🍒o carry that momentum into this home fixture.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, haven’t played Test cricket since their 1-0 series defeat to the West Indies in February 20♉23. The African side will be eager to rediscover their rhyt🧸hm in the longest format and challenge the Irish team.

Civil Service Cricket Club Pitch Report:
The Civil Service Cricket Club pitch is expected to offer a balanced challenge for both bat and ball. Seamer-friendly conditions are anticipated early on, with the new ball likely to 🦩extract movement. However, as the match progresses, the surface should become increasingly conducive to 𝕴batting. Spinners are unlikely to find much purchase throughout the game.
