The 2019–20 Singapore Tri-Nation Series was a cricket tournament that was held from 27 September to 3 October 2019 in Singapore.[1] It was a tri-nation series featuring Singapore, Nepal and Zimbabwe, with all the matches played as Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[2] Singapore used the series to prepare for their first appearance in the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier in October 2019.[2] It was the first T20I tri-series to be played in Singapore.[3]
Prior to the series, Zimbabwe also played in another tri-series, in Bangladesh.[4] Zimbabwe Cricket named Sean Williams as Zimbabwe's captain,[5] after Hamilton Masakadza announced that he would retire from international cricket following the conclusion of the tri-series in Bangladesh that took place earlier in September.[6]
In the third match of the series, Singapore beat Zimbabwe by four runs.[7] It was the first time that Singapore had beaten a Full Member team in an international cricket match.[8][9] Despite their loss to Singapore, Zimbabwe went on to win the series, winning all their other matches.[10]
