Ireland v Zimbabwe: Two Twenty20 internationals at Stormont added to series

Ireland will host Zimbabwe at Stormont in two extra Twenty20 internationals, while there are two date changes for their games with South Africa.

The additional fourth and fifth T20 games take place on 22 and 24 August.

Meanwhile, the first date switch in the earlier South Africa series sees the T20 game scheduled for Malahide on 20 July move to the preceding day.

The other change is at Stormont, with another T20 game now to be played on 24 August instead of 25 August.

Both series will form part of the World Cup Super League, with 10 qualification points for the eight available places up for grabs in each fixture.

A 2-1 series defeat by the Netherlands earlier this month left the Irish with only two wins from their opening nine matches, with hopes fading of making the 2023 tournament in India.
