There was also no result due to rain in the first match last Saturday and Zimbabwe won by three wickets the following day in the only fixture to be completed. Zimbabwe posted 142-6 in the final tour fixture after pre-match rain forced a 50-minute delay. The rain returned after their innings, preventing Ireland from batting. “I think it would have been a good game. Zimbabwe crept to an above-par score, and it would have been a really good chase,” said Ireland captain Paul Stirling.
