Match Ended   
3rd T20I, Bready Cricket Club, Bready , Sep 01, 2021
178/2 (20.0/20)
138 (18.2/20)
Ireland beat Zimbabwe by 40 runs
Right then. That's it from the coverage of this game. The hosts have put in a strong display and that sees them take a lead in this series. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, would look to bounce back in the next game. The fourth T20I will be played on Thursday, 2nd September at Bready. The first ball will be bowled at 3 pm local (2 pm GMT) but our buildup will begin well in advance. Please do join us for the same. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Andy Balbirnie, the Ireland skipper, says that it was a complete performance from the team. Tells that the wicket played very differently than he expected. Credits Stirling for his amazing batting and says that he deserves that century. Praises Getkate as well for supporting Stirling. Mentions that he is happy for Mark Adair as he is coming in after his injury. Says that they will look to win the series and go ahead for Thursday's game with a positive mindset.
Craig Ervine, the skipper of Zimbabwe, says that they did well to restrict Ireland inside the first ten overs but then got attacked in the last six-seven overs. Mentions that Stirling is one of the guys that gives Ireland the foundation and if you don't get him out, he will come hard at you. Tells that they have to find a way to get through the first six overs with the bat.
Paul Stirling is the Player of the Match! He says that it was a tough and tricky start and it was a big toss to lose. Mentions that he just looked to clear the boundaries and wasn't personally aiming for the century. Tells that he missed out on a couple of deliveries but will avoid that ahead. Says that the win shows a lot about the character of the team.
Ireland will be pretty pleased with how they have fared in this game. There were spells in between where it looked like the visitors were gaining some momentum, but the Irish lads did well in those moments to put a halt to the Zimbabwean charge. Benjamin White, Shane Getkate, Josh Little, and Mark Adair were in the wickets column, as they ended with at least 2 wickets to their name. Adair, though, ended with 3 to his name and had a good game. They were pretty clinical with their work out on the field too. Overall, they put in a complete display and will be happy to take a lead in this series.
The Zimbabwean openers, Tadiwanashe Marumani and Wesley Madhevere, started off in a positive manner as they looked to attack the loose balls and start the Powerplay with a bang. That blast only lasted for a short while as both openers were sent back shortly after. After that, wickets kept falling and none of the batters were able to settle down and play a measured knock. Skipper, Craig Ervine and Ryan Burl did show some fight, but they needed assistance from the other batters, which they never got, and in the end, they fell short by 40 runs.
A convincing victory for Ireland and they take a 2-1 lead in this 5-game T20I series. They put up a good total on board, followed that up with a strong bowling display which sees them take a deserved lead in this series. Zimbabwe showed glimpses of showing some fight, but, they have missed out, in the end, as they lose this game by 40 runs.

Mark Adair To Wesley Madhevere OUT!
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.
