Zimbabwe will take on Ireland in the first match of the three-game T20I series at Harare today on January 12 (Thursday). The two teams will be looking to ste the tempo for the preparations for the T20 World Cup in 2024. Zimbabwe are without their quality all-rounder Sikandar Raza in this series. All eyes will be on Gary Ballance, the former England cricket team batter, who has shifted base to country of his birth recently. He will play a big role in today's match vs Ireland. Needless to say, all eyes will be on Ballance to see how he goes in the Zimbabwean colours. 

Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, and Ryan Burl are the other batters that Zimbabwe will rely upon. The home team's bowling looks good too with the likes of Tendai Chatara, Luke Jongwe, and Richard Ngarava in the mix. 

Ireland should start as favourites if they are not the the hosts. They are led by Andy Balbirnie and boast of players like Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher and George Dockrell. Balbirnie has quality in his squad and has several options to pick the best playing 11.

Ireland will be without two of their star performers Josh Little and Paul Stirling because of their participation in SA20 and ILT20 Leagues respectively. Little will play for Pretoria Capitals in SA20 while Stirling will feature for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in ILT20.
