Presentations coming up...

Earlier in the game, Zimbabwe's bowlers dominated Ireland, limiting them to 138 for 8. Trevor Gwandu and Sikandar Raza combined for five wickets, with Ngarava removing the key player Paul Stirling early. Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector put up a brief resistance during the powerplay, but Raza dismissed Tector, increasing the pressure on Tucker. Eventually, Gwandu took Tucker's wicket as well, ending his innings at 46 runs.

Craig Young was brilliant with the ball and he was well supported by the others. The spell though, by Josh Little probably cost them the game. He was a little too expensive on a slow track and they needed him to be at his best. A good effort though by the Irish but they would feel they left a few runs with the bat towards the end and that’s what cost them the game.

What an absolute low scoring thriller! It was Zimbabwe in the end who came out on top! Ireland, though, did really well to make a fight off a score, that we felt was under par. Ireland got three wickets early but then Burl and Raza put up a good stand and got the chase back on track. Both though fell in quick succession but Tony Munyonga batted brilliantly with the lower order to take his side over the line.
