TEAMS PREVIEW
Zimbabwe Preview
Zimbabwe made a competitive total of 299/5 in their 50 overs. Brian Bennett was their star performer with 169 runs in 163 balls. Their top order batters Craig Ervine (66 runs) and Ben Curran (28 runs) made good starts and continued the momentum to make a big score. Their middle order kept losing wickets as no player crossed 20-run mark outside top-3.
Their bowlers bundled out the opposition for just 250 runs. Blessing Muzurbani (4/51) and Richard Ngarva (3/56) took 7 wickets between them and should stop the opposition line up from scoring runs effectively. Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza chipped in with a wicket each in the match.
Ireland Preview
Ireland batters were bundled out for just 250 runs in the match. Curtis Campher top scored with 44 runs while Stirling, Harry Tector, L Tucker, and G Dockrell got starts but failed to carry on the momentum and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Their bowlers gave 299 runs in their 50 overs. Mark Adair, Andy McBrine and Hume took a wicket each in the match. Joshua little was very expensive last game while Mathew Humphrey bowled a decent spell.
