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.
In the first innings Ireland made 240 runs and gave a lead of 40 rums. An excellent batting by P Moor in first innings scoring 79 runs. Moor and Balbirnie's first wicket partnership of 71 runs shifted pressure on the Zimbabwe team. The Zimbabwe team also bowls well. Chivanga took three wickets, and B. Muzarabani also took three wickets. in second inning the Zimbabwe team is playing Nicely They scored 89 after a loss of three wickets, and the first session of day 3 is going. The Zimbabwe team needs to play smoothly without taking any kind of pressure to chase the target because they have 7 wickets in hand, and I hope they will lead more than 300 runs. It will be difficult for the Ireland team to chase a target of 300 plus runs Let's see.
