After a long time we are seeing Zimbabwe playing Test cricket. Zimbabwe finished their first innings game against Ireland yesterday where Zimbabwe scored 210 runs at the end of the first day and at the end of the first innings. Ireland will be batting in their first innings on day two and will definitely be looking to finish day two ahead of Zimbabwe. The outcome of the match depends a lot on the first innings of the opposing team. If Ireland can be ahead of Zimbabwe in the first innings then Ireland will win this match but if Zimbabwe is ahead at the end of the first innings then Zimbabwe will bat again and they will try to give Ireland a big target. All the best to Zimbabwe as they don the jersey of Test cricket after a long time.
Zimbabwe scored 210 runs which I think not a good score. Ireland is looking better in this game. Means we can see how they perform in bowling. Andy McBrine and Barry McCarthy collected 3,3 wickets. I hope they will do well in the batting line too. If Ireland will make a lead of 200 runs so this will a good score. And this will be tough to cross. If Zimbabwe will make a lead of 100 runs in the second innings so this will not be good and Ireland will win easily. By the way we can't say anything at this time let's see what will the Ireland do today.
Ireland managed to score 250 runs in their first innings on the second day after Zimbabwe finished the first day's game with 210 all out against Ireland. The Irish ended their first innings game against Zimbabwe with a lead of 40 runs. Towards the end of the second day, Zimbabwe again went into bat in their second innings where they ended the second day with 12 runs for no wickets. Zimbabwe is still 38 runs behind Ireland. If Ireland can pick up one or two wickets before Zimbabwe scores 38 runs then Ireland will go far ahead but if no wickets fall before Zimbabwe score 38 runs then it will be seen that the game is evenly matched. The third day's play will start soon and if Zimbabwe lose early wickets, they will be far behind in the race for this match.
