Zimbabwe vs Ireland: 2nd ODI

On January 21, the second ODI of the series between Zimbabwe and Ireland will take place at the Harare Sports Club. After the Chevrons won the first game, our emotions went over the roof. First to bat, the Irish men managed to score a respectable 288 runs. Despite a rocky beginning, Ireland gained momentum thanks to centuries from Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector.

The DLS technique required Zimbabwe to chase a total of 214 in 37 overs. Sikandar Raza and Ryan Burl boosted their side as the Zimbabweans initially struggled. Burl was given the contest's player of the match award for his 59-run innings and 0/40 bowling effort in seven overs. The Chevrons will be in good spirits, but by the narrowest of margins, Ireland came in second. The Irish team would suffer greatly without Balbrine, and they would be eager to win the following match in order to save their series.
