That's all we have from this game. Zimbabwe are right on top and continue to prosper. They would feel they are just one game away from booking a berth for the World Cup. Ireland, well this will be a tough loss to digest. All they can do is work hard and come out harder in their remaining games. It's time for us to pack our bags and make a leave but you can switch tabs if you want to catch some action from the ongoing virtual semi-final between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh where the hosts are staring down the barrel. Have a great weekend. Cheers!

Ireland skipper, William Porterfield says at the halfway stage they were very happy to chase 211 and the boys were pretty confident as well. Is out of words to describe this dismal batting performance and feels they have just let themselves down with the bat.

Zimbabwe skipper, Graeme Cremer says they were a bit nervous at the halfway mark, but knew they could come out and do well with the ball as chasing is a bit difficult on this track. Credits Sikandar Raza for his performance and says he's his Man of the Match without a doubt. Goes on to say his batting and his side's bowling at the start was vital for them. Thanks the crowd for their support and says it means everything to them that they come out and cheer them on throughout.

Man of the Match, Sikandar Raza says he can't believe that they have come out on top. States he went with his head down at the halfway stage but Cremer and his mates motivated and cheered him up. Thanks the crowd and says that they wanted to do well for them. Credits Chisoro and Blessing for offering a good helping hand otherwise the story would have been completely different. Once again praises the crowd and calls them their 12th man and the real deal for them.

A comfortable victory for Zimbabwe. They didn't have a good enough total on the board, but their bowlers produced a splendid performance to wrap the Irish up for an extremely low score. Barring Blessing Muzarabani, everybody plucked wickets with Tendai Chisoro and Graeme Cremer taking 3 each. Ireland could not sustain any decent partnerships. Yes, the wicket was on the slower side but some more application from them would have done them good. Just goes to show how crucial having a player like Sikandar Raza in your team is. He stood resolute with the tail and his 69 proved to be the difference maker in this contest.

34.2

Graeme Cremer To Tim Murtagh OUT!

OUT! ZIMBABWE WIN BY 107 RUNS! A good, good victory for them. Murtagh gives the charge and looks to clear the mid-wicket fence. But there's not enough power in it to clear the rope. Solomon Mire in the deep runs to his right and takes a fine catch.

33.6

Sikandar Raza To Tim Murtagh

Yorker on the stumps, Murtagh just about manages to dig this one out off the inner edge down to short fine leg. The batsmen take off for the run. There is a throw at the bowler's end but it's well wide.

33.5

Sikandar Raza To Andy McBrine

Works it with the turn into the cover area and calls his partner through for a run.

33.4

Sikandar Raza To Tim Murtagh

Slower through the air on off, Tim throws his bat at this and gets it off the inner half through mid-wicket. One run to the total.

Sikandar Raza To Andy McBrine

Strays it on the pads once more, it's nurdled fine down the leg side this time for a single.

Full and straight, comfortably played back to the bowler.

32.3

Graeme Cremer To Tim Murtagh

Full and outside off, driven to the cover area for nought.

Sikandar Raza To Boyd Rankin OUT!

OUT! Sikandar Raza gets his first of the game! Floats it up from around the wicket, it's slow in pace. Rankin has a wild slog across the line but gets beaten in the flight and misses to connect. It goes under his bat and knocks the bails over.

Graeme Cremer To Andy McBrine

Positions himself behind the line and blocks it out.

Boyd Rankin walks out next.

30.5

Graeme Cremer To Barry McCarthy OUT!

OUT! Only two wickets for Zimbabwe to win this game. Tossed up on the stumps, McCarthy looks to go across the line but gets a big leading edge over the bowler's head. Sean Williams there settles himself under the ball and takes a safe catch.

30.4

Graeme Cremer To Barry McCarthy

This was closer! It pitched and hit in line, but the inside edge has saved him there. Googly on off, spins in and catches the back pad of Barry McCarthy. But, much to his delight, the inside edge is taken first.
