Preview

Zimbabwe (ZIM) will be up against Ireland in the second ODI match of the Ireland (IRE) tour of Zimbabwe. This match will be played at Harare Sports Club. Zimbabwe won the opening match against Ireland by 50 runs and have taken an early lead of 1-0 in the three-match series. All the One Day and T20I matches of this tour will be played at the Harare Sports Club. 

Zimbabwe were put into bat and scored a massive 299  runs in the first innings as Brian Bennett scored an excellent 169. Bennett struck as many as 20 fours and three sixes in his 163-ball innings, sharing partnerships worth 95 with Ben Curran and 136 with captain Craig Ervine for the first two wickets. The hosts had 299 on the board which was just above par on that wicket.

In reply Ireland were in the game for a good part of the second innings despite losing a few early wickets in the powerplay. Campher and Stiirling put up a 50 run partnership but once their partnership was broken it was a collapse as Ireland were bowled out for 250. Blessing Muzarabani finished with 4 for 51 while Richard Ngarava picked up three wickets of his own. Ireland will be keen to bounce back and this promises to be a thrilling match between these two sides.
