In what is going to be only the ninth international match between Zimbabwe and Netherlands, it will be only the fourth instance of them locking horns in this format. While their first-ever encounter had happened during ICC Cricket World Cup 2003, their first bilateral series was a two-match affair played in Netherlands in 2019.
The first-ever ODI series between these two opponents in Zimbabwe will be part of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League. With only a handful of series remaining under this Super League, this is going to be the home team’s last one. Netherlands, on the contrary, will travel to South Africa from Zimbabwe for another Super League series.
