Commentary

86.4

Richard Ngarava b Andy McBrine 14 (40)

OUT! Bowled. Andy McBrine to Richard Ngarava. Off break half volley, off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. Andy McBrine takes the last wicket and Ireland claim an excellent test match victory, their third in a row in the format. In a pulsating contest that swung back and forth, the target proved a stretch too far for Zimbabwe who fall 63 runs short. Matthew Humphreys was Ireland's star, taking six wickets to dash the hosts' hopes. Wesley Madhevere was the sole resistance this morning, but when Humphreys removed him for 84, the game was up. McBrine fittingly sealed the win after his unbeaten 90 on Day 1 had rescued Ireland from an early collapse, and he takes the Player of the Match award for his all round display.
