The second match in the three-match T20I series between Zimbabwe and Ireland is scheduled for Saturday, January 14. The match will take place at the Harare Sports Club. Craig Ervine led Zimbabwe, which made an impressive start to the series. In the first match, they defeated Ireland by five wickets to take a crucial 1-0 lead.

The hosts restricted Andrew Balbirnie and co. to 114 runs in 19.2 overs after deciding to field first. The Zimbabwean bowler of choice was Ryan Burl, who returned with impressive figures of 3/29. Richard Ngarava, Wellington Masakadza, and Tendai Chatara each took two wickets. Ireland’s leading scorer was Gareth Delany, who finished with 24 points out of 20.

After both their opening batters, Ervine and Tadiwanashe Marumani, failed to get going, Zimbabwe struggled early in their run chase. However, Wesley Madhevere and Gary Ballance’s 35-run stand brought order to the game. Before getting out, Madhevere scored 16 points out of 22, including one four.

Before Mark Adair dismissed debutant Ballance, he scored 30 points out of 29. Clive Madande’s 10-ball 18 and Sean Williams’ unbeaten 30-ball 34 ultimately assisted Zimbabwe in reaching its goal with 12 balls remaining.
