ZIM vs IRE Live Cricket Score

2.3 OUT! TAKEN! The skipper departs. Shorter and wide outside off, Andy Balbirnie looks to slap it but mistimes it completely, finds Ryan Burl at backward point who reacts well and takes a fine catch around his chest. Andy Balbirnie departs for just five runs! 12/2

1.4 OUT! TIMBER! Richard Ngarava draws the first blood. Pulls his length back a bit, and bowls it on off and middle, Ross Adair shimmies down the wicket to slap it but misses it completely. The ball clips the top of the bails and Ross Adair makes his way back into the hut cheaply on debut. Zimbabwe have an early breakthrough in the game. 6/1

6 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A bit of swing and another one bites the dust. This one lands shorter and outside off, Stephen Doheny moves forward to slap it away through covers but misses it completely, gets the slightest of the edge and Clive Madande behind the sticks makes no mistake. Stephen Doheny makes his way back to the hut! 28/3

8.2 OUT! BOWLED! Here comes the wrong 'un and Tector gets completely deceived by it. This one lands on off, it turns in a bit, Harry Tector looks to loft it but misses it completely and the ball rattles over the leg pole. Harry Tector makes his way back into the pavilion. 38/4

13.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A ripper of a take from Clive Madande behind the sticks and Curtis Campher has to depart. Campher backs away past the leg stump and Wellington Masakadza follows hi with a quicker delivery. This is bowled flatter and angled in. Campher looks to cut close from the body but gets an inside edge. Clive pouches it sharply and that too low and the finger is eventually raised. 70/6

10.5 OUT! TIMBER! Ryan Burl has the last laugh here and sends George Dockrell packing! Burl drags the length back and bowls it quicker around middle. Dockrell looks for the pull but it is the googly and this one keeps a bit low as well. Dockrell gets beaten all ends up and the ball crashes into the stumps. An unecessary shot this one and Ireland have lost half their side now. 58/5

13.5 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man and Wellington Masakadza gets his second wicket of the over. This is simply poor batting from the Iriosh batters. This is bowled on a length around off and turning away. Tyrone Kane slogs it against the turn and takes on the longer part of the ground. This is hit flat and towards deep mid-wicket where Wesley Madhevere takes a simple catch around his face. Kane departs and Ireland are seven down inside the 14th over. 71/7

18.1 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! 'You miss, I hit,' stuff from Richard Ngarava and he gets rid of Gareth Delany. Delany pre-meditates and shimmies down the wicket. Ngarava pulls the length back and angles it across from around leg stump. Delany looks to slap it away but misses and the ball castles into the off pole. Ireland lose their ninth wicket now. 105/9

14.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Ireland are going down in a hurry here. Ryan Burl bowls it on a shorter length and turns it away from outside off. It is there to be cut and Mark Adair opts to do so off the back foot. The ball just sticks on the surface a bit and Adair ends up slicing it in front of short third man. Craig Ervine takes an easy catch diving forward and Zimbabwe are now two wickets away from bundling out the opposition. 74/8

19.2 OUT! TAKEN! A spectacular catch from Craig Ervine and Ireland have been bundled out here! Tendai Chatara pitches it up outside off. Barry McCarthy hangs deep in his crease and looks to loft it over mid off. The timing isn't great but still, the ball seems to go over mid off. Ervine over there takes a couple of steps back and jumps backward to take a one-handed stunner with his left hand. McCarthy cannot believe it and Ireland have been bowled out for 114! 114/10

1 OUT! CAUGHT! Harry Tector does get his man and the Zimbabwean skipper departs early. Just holds it back a touch and bowls it on middle and leg. Craig Ervine takes the aerial route and lofts it high over mid on. Barry McCarthy over there runs back and keeps his eyes on the ball before taking a good catch. Just the start Ireland needed. 4/1

1.2 OUT! LBW! Zimbabwe have now lost both openers inside the first two overs. On a good length around leg stump and just shaping back in a touch. Tadiwanashe Marumani gets caught on the crease and as he looks to hop and tuck, he misses. The ball hits him high on the pads and there is a aloud appeal. It is given and the replays show that it is pitching in line. Mark Adair is all pumped up. 8/2

7.5 OUT! TIMBER! Wesley Madhevere never looked settled out in the middle and Harry Tector cleans him up. Tector knows Madhevere is itching to step out and cleverly tosses it up on a shorter length and around off stump. Madhevere does step out and moves past the leg stump as well as he looks for the slog. The ball beats him in the flight and spins in to castle into the stumps. Tector is delighted and Ireland do have their third. 43/3

12.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! This one lands slightly shorter and outside off, Gary Ballance rocks back and looks to cut it but misses it completely, and gets a nick on it as it carries behind the sticks. Stephen Doheny pouches it comfortably and Zimbabwe are four down now! 71/4

15.2 OUT! TAKEN! Fuller and on middle, Ryan Burl looks to heave it but gets the toe end of his bat, it carries towards short mid-wicket and George Dockrell takes a fine catch around his face. Half of the Zimbabwe side is back into the hut now and Zimbabwe now need 25 runs in 28 balls. 90/5
