in Harare: Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat first in the one-day international series decider against Ireland on a spinner-friendly track in Harare on Monday.
The hosts won the first match by three wickets last Wednesday and Ireland drew level three days later with a 46-run win.
Zimbabwe welcomed back captain and top-order batsman Craig Irvine, who was ruled out of the second match due to injury.
Opening batsman Paul Stirling continued as stand-in Ireland captain after Andy Balbirnie was ruled out of the series with a head injury in the first match.
