ZIM vs IRE Match Preview:
On Thursday, February 6, the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo will host the one-time Test match between the European nation Ireland (IRE) and the African nation Zimbabwe (ZIM). Since the Irish team hosted the Chevrons for a historic one-off Test in Belfast last year, this will be their first Test match.
Ireland hopes to defeat the African team in another Test match after gaining confidence from that victory. The hosts, however, will be seeking retribution for their earlier defeat. In the next Test series, there is just one game with a single opportunity to win. Here, there are no second chances or rematches. One-time test matches appear to

But what makes the side so special is that they get to leave a legacy right away.
Given that they aren’t given as many opportunities as some of the best international teams, nations like Ireland and Zimbabwe appear to have a unique opportunity to demonstrate their abilities in the one-off Test match. Thus, for these clubs, every ball, every run,
