The game was played in Hobart.
Captain Andy Balbirnie says he’s bitterly disappointed by Ireland’s start to the T20 World Cup.
Despite winning the toss in Hobart, Ireland put Zimbabwe in to bat first and they made 174 for the loss of seven wickets.
Ireland’s first four wickets fell for just 22-runs, and they eventually lost by 31 runs.
Next up is a must-win meeting with Scotland on Wednesday.
The Scots beat the West Indies by 42-runs earlier today.
