Ireland vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI
Second game between Zimbabwe and Ireland is in progress and after 12 overs Zimbabwe are 55/2. Zimbabwe have won first ODI and Ireland must win today's game to keep the series alive. Brian Bennett who scored 168 runs in first ODI and Craig Ervine who scored 68 runs both are out today. Ireland have got 2 big wickets and they must make sure that Zimbabwe will not give a target of around 250 otherwise it will be difficult for Ireland to win the game.
Yesterday, there was the second ODI match between Zimbabwe and Ireland. In the previous games, Zimbabwe tried their best and eventually win it. I was looking for Zimbabwe as winner again but I was wrong.
Zimbabwe batting first, and their openers gave quite a good start, but the middle order slightly destroyed it. The middle order could not stabilise the game, being in the upper hand. After a little bit challenging situation, we got a good partnership between Wessly Madhevere and Sikandar Raza; they both played a partnership across 100 runs long. In Ireland's bowling side, Mark Adair was taking back-to-back wickets, and Zimbabwe could not set a winning target.
