| Kevin O'Brien | 9 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 90 |
|
5.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The first one goes back and Kevin O'Brien does not have much of an impact here. He looked to make use of the final over of the Powerplay, but he only holes out. On a length, slower in pace, on middle, Kevin O'Brien makes room and looks to loft this one down the ground, but does not time this well. Craig Ervine at mid off, moves to his right and gulps this down. 32/1
|

| Andy Balbirnie C | 31 | 24 | 3 | 1 | 129.16 |
|
15.3 OUT! TAKEN! The Irish skipper was looking to capitalize but he does not time this one well and he gives his wicket away. Burl has got the valuable wicket of Andy Balbirnie! Burl tosses this one up and lands it fuller on middle, Andy Balbirnie makes room and lofts this one over the cover region. He gets the height on this but no distance. Milton Shumba in the deep takes it easily. 109/2

1.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The batting show by Wesley Madhevere comes to an unfortunate end. He looked very good in the first over but he gifts his wicket away on this occasion. Mark Adair gets a wicket in his very first over. On a length, around the off pole, Wesley Madhevere looks to heave this one over the off side but does not time it well. It goes high in the air towards covers, where the Irish skipper, Andy Balbirnie, pouches this. 15/1

| Tadiwanashe Marumani | 14 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 116.66 |
|
3.5 OUT! TAKEN! The skipper gets another catch and another Zimbabwean batter, who was looking good, perishes. Tadiwanashe Marumani looked to keep the boundaries rolling and his decision to go after any ball has proved to be his demise. On a length this time, around off, Tadiwanashe Marumani looks to loft this one over covers, but he only manages to chip this one towards extra cover, where Andy Balbirnie shows that he has safe hands. 33/2

| Regis Chakabva Wk | 7 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 53.84 |
|
6.2 OUT! LBW! Tossed up ball on middle and leg, Regis Chakabva is caught in the crease and looks to play across the line. He misses and gets hit on the pads. Benjamin White pleads for an LBW and the umpire raises his finger. 54/3

| Dion Myers | 14 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 140 |
|
7.2 OUT! TAKEN! Short of a length, on off. Myers goes for the pull shot. He does not time it well though. The ball lands straight into the hands of Kevin O'Brien at deep mid-wicket and he completes the catch. Another one bites the dust for Zimbabwe as they lose their fourth wicket. 56/4

| Craig Ervine C | 33 | 18 | 3 | 2 | 183.33 |
|
13.1 OUT! BOWLED! That should be the game. The skipper of Zimbabwe has to head back and he looked like the last hope for the visitors to win this game. Now, with him gone, the game looks to be in Ireland's grasp. On a length, around middle and leg, the ball stays slightly low as Craig Ervine looks to force this through the leg side but misses. The furniture behind takes a beating. 75 needed in 41 balls! 104/7

| Milton Shumba | 6 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 75 |
|
10.1 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Benjamin White strikes and gets his second wicket. Shumba walks back and Zimbabwe's run chase is slowly falling apart here. White gives this one air, lands it on middle, Milton Shumba gets low and looks to slog sweep but he misses his shot as the ball crashes into the furniture behind. 95 needed in 59 balls! 84/5

| Luke Jongwe | 7 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 140 |
|
11.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The sixth one falls and Mark Adair strikes. A slower ball, around off, on a length, Luke Jongwe looks to play this to the leg side, but is through his shot early. The outside edge is induced and the ball lobs up behind, near the keeper. Neil Rock moves to his right and takes this dolly. 97/6

17.4 OUT! TAKEN! Mark Adair gets his third wicket. He serves a short-of-a-length ball on leg, Ryan Burl goes for the pull shot, but he holes out to the fine leg fielder where Simi Singh takes a good low catch. 136/9

| Wellington Masakadza | 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 66.66 |
|
15.5 OUT! TIMBER! Josh Little bags his second. A touch fuller and on off, Wellington Masakadza looks to work it on the leg side and exposes his stumps. He misses and the ball skids through to rattle the stumps. 121/8

| Richard Ngarava | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 100 |
|
18.2 OUT! RICHARD NGARAVA IS RUN OUT! That is the end of the game. Fuller in length on leg, Chatara squeezes it out to mid-wicket. He takes off for a single but then says no. In the meantime, Richard Ngarava is already halfway down the track. He tries to get back to the crease but Shane Getkate picks up the ball and hits the stumps at the bowler's end. IRELAND WIN BY 40 RUNS. 138/10
