And that's a wrap! The series is now level, setting the stage for a thrilling decider. Join us on February 18th for the 3rd and final ODI, where Zimbabwe and Ireland will clash once again. We'll have action underway from 6:30 pm GMT. You can join us an hour early for the match updates and analysis. Until then, goodbye and cheers!
Ireland captain Paul Stirling praised his team's performance, particularly during the middle period of the game. He noted that although they didn't take wickets during that phase, they successfully kept the Zimbabwean scoring rate in check, which ultimately set the stage for their later success. Stirling acknowledged that a target of 270-280 would have been much more challenging, but expressed satisfaction that his bowlers prevented Zimbabwe from reaching that mark. Looking ahead to the final game, Stirling indicated that he plans to stick with the same XI, provided everyone is fit and available.
Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine reflected on his team's performance, stating that they were on track until the 30th over mark, but lost their momentum in the final 20 overs with the bat. Ervine acknowledged that the wicket was assisting the bowlers, but credited the Irish batters for applying themselves well and making the most of the conditions. He also rued the extras conceded by his team, which ultimately proved costly. Ervine concluded by emphasizing the importance of collective bowling effort, expressing confidence that if his team can bowl well together, things will start to go in their favor.
Curtis Campher, the Player of the Match, shared his thoughts on his impressive performance. He revealed that his strategy was to focus on keeping the ball in the line of the stumps, and it paid off handsomely. Campher also emphasized the importance of nullifying Zimbabwe's chances of making a comeback in the chase. He praised his partnership with Paul Stirling, stating that they worked well together to prevent Zimbabwe from gaining momentum. By doing so, they successfully shut the door on Zimbabwe's hopes of a comeback, ultimately paving the way for Ireland's victory.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Zimbabwe just didn’t have enough on the board! They were at least 30 runs short of a competitive score. Their bowlers did try hard but there was not a lot in the wicket for them. The pacers were good. They worked hard for wickets but they needed more from the spinners which they couldn’t provide.
Quite an easy chase for the Irish! Their bowlers did a commendable job in the first half to keep the Irish to below 250 and the batters responded well. They lost Andy Balbirnie relatively early but Paul Stirling and Curtis Campher were brilliant. They added a stand which took them very close to a win. Paul Stirling was the star with the bat and it was that partnership which helped the batters coming in to help them get over the line.
