What started in Bulawayo as a potentially one-sided day was anything but Ireland Zig-Zigged through several ups and downs, however, Zimbabwe dominated the day.
In response, Zimbabwe lost Ben Curan quickly, but the healthy start of Takudzwanashe Katano and Nick Welch fell behind 218 runs with 218 runs.
The day started under Sunny Sky’s, but the first over showed a pitch vagina, in which the batsmen could not be trusted. Peter Moore was wooed out by balls, causing him a fourth ball, but then the bounce and lack of speed pulled him a bridge over his stump.
Curtis Kapoor got a jafa, who tried to defend in the third over, turned away from his bat and defeated her bat, but then was trying to retaliate Richard Nagrawa in the fourth – the only batsman in Ireland Five did not fall for Mujrabani. Andy Balbirni, who was under control against the entire balls, was the next to go, trying to stop a small ball into the pitch.
Mujarabani saved his best ball for Harry Tector, which went away to take a leading lead from the flick, which he was caught in the slip. They were then assisted by the pitch, which gave additional speed and bounce to undo the Paul Sterling caught in the slip. And like this, Ireland has lost half of its side with nine overs.
