Zimbabwe will take on Ireland while Bangladesh will face Thailand here in the decisive Qualifier semifinals here later on Friday, with the winner of each T20I booking a ticket to South Africa next year for the Women's T20 World Cup.

Zimbabwe, who will play Ireland at the Zayed Cricket Stadium, had made a strong start to the Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier with victories over Papua New Guinea (by eight wickets) and Thailand (sic wickets), according to ICC. But with a semifinal place assured, they were less impressive in their third T20I in the group stage as they lost to the UAE off the last ball.
