Zimbabwe vs Ireland Highlights And Cricket Score Super Sixes - 3 Match - ODI Summary
End of Over : 34.2IRE: 104/10
That's all we have from this game. Zimbabwe are right on top and continue to prosper. They would feel they are just one game away from booking a berth for the World Cup. Ireland, well this will be a tough loss to digest. All they can do is work hard and come out harder in their remaining games. It's time for us to pack our bags and make a leave but you can switch tabs if you want to catch some action from the ongoing virtual semi-final between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh where the hosts are staring down the barrel. Have a great weekend. Cheers!
Ireland skipper, William Porterfield says at the halfway stage they were very happy to chase 211 and the boys were pretty confident as well. Is out of words to describe this dismal batting performance and feels they have just let themselves down with the bat.
Zimbabwe skipper, Graeme Cremer says they were a bit nervous at the halfway mark, but knew they could come out and do well with the ball as chasing is a bit difficult on this track. Credits Sikandar Raza for his performance and says he's his Man of the Match without a doubt. Goes on to say his batting and his side's bowling at the start was vital for them. Thanks the crowd for their support and says it means everything to them that they come out and cheer them on throughout.
Man of the Match, Sikandar Raza says he can't believe that they have come out on top. States he went with his head down at the halfway stage but Cremer and his mates motivated and cheered him up. Thanks the crowd and says that they wanted to do well for them. Credits Chisoro and Blessing for offering a good helping hand otherwise the story would have been completely different. Once again praises the crowd and calls them their 12th man and the real deal for them.
A comfortable victory for Zimbabwe. They didn't have a good enough total on the board, but their bowlers produced a splendid performance to wrap the Irish up for an extremely low score. Barring Blessing Muzarabani, everybody plucked wickets with Tendai Chisoro and Graeme Cremer taking 3 each. Ireland could not sustain any decent partnerships. Yes, the wicket was on the slower side but some more application from them would have done them good. Just goes to show how crucial having a player like Sikandar Raza in your team is. He stood resolute with the tail and his 69 proved to be the difference maker in this contest.

Graeme Cremer to Tim Murtagh. OUT! ZIMBABWE WIN BY 107 RUNS! A good, good victory for them. Murtagh gives the charge and looks to clear the mid-wicket fence. But there's not enough power in it to clear the rope. Solomon Mire in the deep runs to his right and takes a fine catch.
34.10
