Earlier the series was scheduled to be played in September 2020,[7][8] however, in August 2020, the tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10] Ahead of the series, the Netherlands played a 50-over warm up match against a Zimbabwe XI side.[11]
In the first ODI, Netherlands recovered from 110/6 in their chase of the host's 249 to win by three wickets and with one ball remaining,[12] with Teja Nidamanuru scoring an unbeaten century.[13] Zimbabwe won the second ODI by a run,[14] and levelled the series at one victory apiece,[15] with Wesley Madhevere taking a hat-trick.[16][17] Zimbabwe went on to win the third ODI by 7 wickets,[18] and won the series 2–1.[19]

On 16 March 2023, Bas de Leede was ruled out of the series due to heel injury,[22] with Aryan Dutt was named as his replacement.[23] Roelof van der Merwe withdrew from the Netherlands' squad citing personal reasons.[24]
