Inn Break
That is it from this match! Zimbabwe take 1-0 lead in this 3-match series. The 2nd match will be played on Friday, September 10 at 10.30 am local (9.30 am GMT). Do join us for that. Till then, adios and take care!
Craig Ervine, the Zimbabwe skipper says, that the first 10-15 overs were difficult for batting and applauds Brendan Taylor for batting the way that he did and the foundation was nicely laid. He adds that he was happy with the total on the board and 266 was always going to be tough to chase. Also adds that he would have liked to pick up some early wickets but the bowlers stuck to their plan and the spinners bowled tightly as well, which helped them.
Sikandar Raza is THE MAN OF THE MATCH, he says that the foundation was set early on and especially by Brendan Taylor and he was delighted to see senior guys setting it up and the wicket got better when he came on to bat. He adds that he just wanted to go out their with a positive intent and run hard between the wickets and luckily for him, that's what he managed to do.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier in the day, it was the skipper of Zimbabwe, Craig Ervine who was the commander in their bating. With some quick cameos, earlier from Taylor and in the fag end of the innings from Raza powered Zimbabwe to 266 for 7. Stay tuned for the Presentation.
Zimbabwe were disciplined with their lines and lengths. They started off poorly but once they got the first breakthrough, the doors for wicket were wide opened. Porterfield and Tector did stitch a partnership but Luke Jongwe started his second spell brilliantly as he removed the former man. The game was poised till the 40th over but then came Blessing Muzarabani, he was outstanding as he removed the dangerous Harry Tector and after that, it was just finishing the things. Blessing Muzarabani was the figurehead of the bowlers as he scalped 4 wickets. Other bowlers helped him and finished the job comfortably.
It looked like an easy win at one point but the wickets of William Porterfield and Harry Tector changed the scenario. Ireland were off to a great start, both the openers crawled to a 50-run partnership before Paul Stirling gave away his wicket. The runs were not flowing at the required rate but the Irish were staying in the hunt. Once Harry Tector walked out, the momentum changed, and with him and William Porterfield, both managed to stitch a partnership of 71. Once Porterfield fell, the hopes for the win were with Tector but he too fell just after making his 50 and with him, the hopes of a win perished. The win was almost there for Ireland if someone had kept the composure and stayed out in the middle till the end but they were second best and will be a little bit disappointed with their batting performance.
An excellent bowling display from Zimbabwe. They go on to lead this 3-match series by going 1-0 up as they were superior throughout the match.

DRINKS BREAK - Ireland took the slow and steady approach to the chase and were successful up to an extent. Paul Stirling settled in and started playing his shots, but just when it all looked good, Stirling got out and Ireland have to re-build. Zimbabwe were brilliant in the first Powerplay and Ngarava, along with Muzarabani bowled really well. They, however, did not get any wickets and couldn't apply much pressure. Wellington Masakadza finally provided the breakthrough and the chase is nicely poised at the moment.
