Rain Seals Zimbabwe’s T20I Series Victory Over Ireland

2 Min Read

Rain eliminated the third and final T20I match to result in Zimbabwe securing a 1-0 victory against Ireland in Harare. Long-lasting weather interruptions forced Ireland to miss their chance at chasing down Zimbabwe’s 142 runs since the match was reduced to just 18 overs.

Zimbabwe started their batting effort by losing two wickets as they faced three opening overs. Sikandar Raza hit an essential 42 during Zimbabwe’s recovery, even though he twice came within inches of being dismissed by hitting his leg and facing lbw. Delany took out Humphreys with an aggressive shot, allowing him to hit a Hand Fionn six before ending his innings.

After Zimbabwe’s top order stabilized the innings Tashinga Musekiwa combined with Tony Munyonga to give the team a necessary late push in their batting performance. Musekiwa hit two sixes from Young during the 15th over of the innings as Munyonga maintained consistent run scoring. Young and Delany collectively dismissed two Zimbabwean batters, which helped constrain their batting momentum.

Ireland had a solid opportunity to pursue the target against the dew because rain began to pour heavily during the innings break and cut short the match. Despite inconsistent batting throughout their summer, Zimbabwe ended the host season by winning the series thanks to match cancellation.
