On Sunday, February 23, 2025, Ireland will play Zimbabwe in the second Twenty20 International of their 2025 tour of Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Because of the constant rain, the first Twenty20 International between the European team and the African nation concluded without a result.
Following a two-hour delay, the game was shortened to nine overs each side. After choosing to bowl first, Ireland made quick progress when Craig Young removed captain Sikandar Raza and Brian Bennett in the second over. However, the rain played spoiler, and the game was called off just as Ireland was about to begin their run chase. Although the weather forecast is still troubling, both teams will now concentrate on the second Twenty20 International, which is set for the following day at the same location.
