Ireland and Zimbabwe are set to clash in the second round of the three-match ODI series on Saturday, January 21. The match will take place at the Harare Sports Club. Craig Ervine’s Zimbabwe continued where they left off in the T20I series. The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series after winning the first match by three wickets (DLS Method). The match was marred by rain, but somehow the home team remained composed.
Harry Tector and skipper Andrew Balbirnie’s hundreds for Ireland were in vain. Before suffering an injury, Balbirnie scored 121 out of 137. Ireland batted first and posted a respectable score of 288/4 with Tector remaining unbeaten at 101. Richard Ngarava and Sikandar Raza each took one wicket, with Victory Nyauchi taking two of the wickets. After that, it rained, and Zimbabwe needed 214 runs to win in 37 overs, according to the revised goal. After being reduced to 99/4 in 22.1 overs, Ervine’s men were in trouble.
