ZIMBABWE VS IRELAND 3RD ODI: MATCH ABANDONED DUE TO RAIN

Zimbabwe were allowed to bat for 13 overs following which rains took the responsibility to stop play and draw the series 1-1.

Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat first in a one-day international series decider against Ireland on a spinner-friendly track in Harare on Monday.

The hosts won the first match by three wickets last Wednesday and Ireland drew level three days later with a 46-run victory.

Zimbabwe welcomed back captain and top-order batsman Craig Ervine, who was ruled out of the second match by injury.

Opening batter Paul Stirling continued as stand-in Ireland skipper after Andy Balbirnie was ruled out of the series having suffered a blow to the head during the first match.

Unfortunately rain got the better of this match-up, Zimbabwe racing off to 55/1 before it was abandoned, the series now tied 1-1. – Cricket World
