Josh Little(Player of the match): "I'm pleased because it was crucial to bounce back and perform well after losing a close game. I am content as long as I can be of assistance (about the catch he took at long-off)."
Paul Stirling|(Ireland captain): "Any score over 280 here qualifies you for the game. Here, it's difficult not to bowl first. Tector has long been a fantastic resource for us. I hope this improvement lasts a while. Our current momentum is strong. We're hoping to perform well on Monday and take the series."
Sikandar Raza( Zimbabwe Captain): "After their opening strike, we recovered with some excellent bowling. We all got off to good beginnings, but none of us capitalized, and that's how the game ended for us. A top-order hitter must reach a score of 100. We absolutely believed we could chase this down despite the fact that the wicket was way too excellent."

After being invited to bat first, Ireland posted a formidable 294 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 50 overs, thanks to a masterful inning by Stephen Doheny, who scored 84 runs, and a swashbuckling inning by Harry Tector, who scored 75 runs off 61 balls. Tendai Chatara was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts, as he scalped three wickets and gave away 51 runs in 10 overs.
In pursuit of Ireland's 294 runs, Zimbabwe got off to a shaky start as they lost their opener Tadiwanashe Marumani for a golden duck on the second ball of the inning. Chamu Chibhabha and Innocent Kaia put up a decent performance, but their progress was halted when Chamu Chibhabha departed for 40 runs off 55 balls. Sikandar Raza and Gary Ballance took charge of the batting in the middle, but their efforts were cut short when Ryan Burl got run out in an unfortunate manner after adding 67 runs for the 5th wicket. Gary Ballance completed his half-century but failed to score briskly and departed for 52 runs off 67 balls. Zimbabwe were eventually bundled out for 248 runs in the 48th over.

47.3 M Adair to V Nyauchi
W BOWLED HIM! What a ball from Adair. An exceptional yorker on the stumps. Seaming yorker on the stumps and Victor had no chance of putting bat to that. Well under his bat and it rattles onto the stumps. Victor is the last man out. Ireland won the game by 46 runs and takes the series to the decider.
47.2 M Adair to V Nyauchi
0 Bangs it short by Adair. Victor goes for a wild swing but misses it through the keeper.
