Ireland and Zimbabwe will soon lock horns in the first T20I at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin in just a few hours from now. With ICC T20 World Cup scheduled in October this month, the white ball series is crucial for both sides.

Casting aside the favourites because of the home advantage, Ireland would be eyeing a comeback after coming from a 3-0 defeat in the T20I series against South Africa at their home ground. Even the visiting team- Zimbabwe, would also be gearing up and prove themselves after being defeated 2-1 by Bangladesh in their home ground.

It is interesting to note that the venue- Clontarf Cricket Club ground last hosted a T20I back in 2015. Besides, Ireland have never played a T20I here.

With no forecast of rain, the conditions are set to be ideal with a temperature of around 19 degrees.

The match will start at 04:30 PM IST and will live stream on the FanCode app in India.
