The Ireland women's cricket team played four Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) against the Zimbabwe women's cricket team in October 2021.[1] The matches were used by both teams for their preparation for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament,[2] also in Zimbabwe.[3] They were the first WODI matches to be played by Ireland since June 2018, when they hosted New Zealand,[4] and the first ever WODI matches to be played by Zimbabwe since they were granted WODI status by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in April 2021.[5] [6]

Zimbabwe won the opening match of the series by four wickets,[7] with their captain Mary-Anne Musonda scoring an unbeaten century.[8] Ireland won the second match by 80 runs to level the series.[9] Ireland won the third WODI by eight wickets to go 2–1 in the series with one match to play.[10] Ireland then won the final match by 85 runs to win the series 3–1.[11] In the final match, Ireland's Amy Hunter became the youngest player, male or female, to score an ODI century.[12]
